The explosive national bestsellerFinalist for the Arthur Ellis Award for Best Crime Non-FictionThe world watched with fear in November 1979, when Iranian students infiltrated and occupied the American embassy in Tehran. As the city exploded in a fury of revolution, few knew about the six American embassy staff who escaped into hiding. For three months, Ken Taylor, the Canadian ambassador to Iran—along with his wife and embassy staffers—concealed the Americans in their homes, terrified that Ayatollah Khomeini would find out and exact deadly consequences. In Our Man in Tehran, Robert Wright, author of the award-winning national bestseller Three Nights in Havana, tells the story behind a major historical flashpoint, a story of cloak-and-dagger intrigue, the stuff of John le Carré and Frederick Forsyth made real-and the story Ben Affleck didn't get quite right in his Oscar-winning movie based on the Canadian caper, Argo. | Our Man in Tehran by Robert Wright, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
