{"product_id":"argo","title":"Argo","description":"The true, declassified account of CIA operative Tony Mendez's daring rescue of American hostages from Iran that inspired the critically-acclaimed film directed by and starring Ben Affleck, and co-starring John Goodman, Alan Arkin, and Bryan Cranston.\r\n\r\nOn 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 drama connected to the crisis: six Americans escaped. And a top-level CIA officer named Antonio Mendez devised an ingenious yet incredibly risky plan to rescue them before they were detected.\r\n\r\nDisguising himself as a Hollywood producer, and supported by a cast of expert forgers, deep cover CIA operatives, foreign agents, and Hollywood special effects artists, Mendez traveled to Tehran under the guise of scouting locations for a fake science fiction film called Argo. While pretending to find the perfect film backdrops, Mendez and a colleague succeeded in contacting the escapees, and smuggling them out of Iran.\r\n\r\nAntonio Mendez finally details the extraordinarily complex and dangerous operation he led more than three decades ago. A riveting story of secret identities and international intrigue, Argo is the gripping account of the history-making collusion between Hollywood and high-stakes espionage.\u003cspan class=\"booksy-isbn-search\" style=\"position:absolute;left:-9999px;width:1px;height:1px;overflow:hidden;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eISBN: 9780241964590\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Matt Baglio; Antonio Mendez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56566176219522,"sku":"9780241964590","price":54.99,"currency_code":"RON","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1500\/6850\/files\/B1231532.jpg?v=1776318658","url":"https:\/\/www.booksy.ro\/products\/argo","provider":"Booksy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
