America. Russia. Iran. Secret plots. Imperialist ambition. Nuclear destruction. This story could be pulled from today’s headlines but it’s actually 1981. Only Ben Macintyre could uncover the secrets behind the Soviet double agent struggling to prevent Cold War Armageddon. Wordfest is thrilled to welcome Macintyre back to Calgary to share the fascinating tale behind Redwood: The Untold Story of the Cold War’s Most Extraordinary Spy.
The conversation, hosted by Wordfest’s Shelley Youngblut, includes an audience Q&A and book signing, fuelled by Owl’s Nest Books. You can preorder copies of Redwood, as well as Macintyre’s award-winning back list, here.
