Episode description as stored
<p>This is an extraordinary story of espionage, betrayal and an unlikely friendship between spies on opposite sides - and of a man who risked his life and shaped the course of history, for a deeply personal and unlikely reason. In 1981, Washington feared a Soviet takeover of Iran could trigger military intervention and potentially a nuclear war. A KGB officer - Vladimir Kouzichkin - was stationed in revolutionary Iran. He was codenamed Agent Redwood and worked with British intelligence to expose the Soviet Union's operations in Iran... in exchange for a cure to a very private medical problem.</p> <p>Ben McIntyre's new book is called Redwood: The Most Extraordinary Spy of the Cold War and is out now!</p> <p>Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal Patmore.</p> <p>Listen to The Iranian Embassy Siege with Ben Macintyre:</p><p>Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2Yn4pGGxsG1YLI90kf4UkM?si=sUB3ShdzQiGEDeEj9fyBNg</p><p>Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/the-iranian-embassy-siege-with-ben-macintyre/id1042631089?i=1000670522326</p> <p>Dan Snow's History Hit is now available on YouTube!
