Sommaire:
Relates the true account of the 1979 rescue of six American hostages from Iran. On November 4, 1979, Iranian militants stormed the American embassy in Tehran and captured dozens of American hostages, sparking a 444 day ordeal and a quake in global politics still reverberating today. But there is a little-known footnote to the crisis: six Americans escaped, and a midlevel agent named Antonio Mendez devised an ingenious yet incredibly risky plan to rescue them.
