Argo (Book)

I have not seen the movie though someone I know really liked it. The book was good though, well written (maybe helped by the co-author) in the way of a thriller. The actual "Argo" operation (the name has an amusing "R" rated explanation) takes only part of it, the seizure of the Iranian embassy as a whole and some background on the lead CIA agent involved filling the rest. Mendez has two other books, one that focuses some on his second wife.
