COVER

Image of the Cover:
A collage of memorabilia from the US-Canadian operation in late 1979-early 1980. The team successfully exfiltrated from Iran six US State Department officers who took refuge with Canadian diplomats during the early days of the 1979-1981 US-Iran hostage crisis. Among those shown are two of the story's heroes--Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor, upper left, and the author (partially hidden, toward the bottom of the collage).
