An Evening with Ben Macintyre: Redwood

Join bestselling historian and author Ben Macintyre for an evening of espionage, Cold War intrigue and a remarkable true story behind his latest book, Redwood. In 1981, as revolution rocked Iran, KGB officer Vladimir Kuzichkin secretly approached MI6. His knowledge of Soviet operations in Iran made him an invaluable source - but a deeply personal secret put his life and career at risk. Macintyre brings Kuzichkin's extraordinary story to the stage, revealing how a young MI6 officer devised a daring extraction as Iranian and Soviet intelligence closed in. Drawing on newly uncovered archive material and interviews with former intelligence officers, he explores the high-stakes world of Cold War espionage and the intelligence that helped shape history. All Australia and New Zealand tickets include a copy of Redwood, collected at the event. VIP ticket holders will also have the opportunity to have their book signed.
