Tehran is in violent turmoil in the wake of the Iranian Revolution. The Soviets are planning to overthrow the Ayatollah’s fledgling Islamist regime. If they do so, one response from America – unknown to the public – would be to use nuclear weapons. Redwood is the story of how at the height of the Cold War, one mysterious double agent, whose intelligence reached the highest levels of British and American governments, cracked open the KGB, revealed the Kremlin’s secret plot and prevented Armageddon.‘Redwood’ was the MI6 codename for this unsung, hitherto unknown hero of the Cold War, a highly-trained six-foot-four Russian intelligence officer who chose to expose the KGB’s deepest secrets, compelled to swap sides by a shaming secret of his own. Facing exposure, with both the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and his own KGB colleagues closing in, he demanded that MI6 try to smuggle him out of Iran in a high-stakes escape plan.This is the gripping tale of one man’s courage, and its extraordinary unintended consequences that still shape our world today. It’s about a moving friendship between spies on opposite sides of the global conflict; about marriage, loyalty, betrayal and sexual dysfunction; and about how decisions made in secret can have huge, long-term ramifications.Drawing on never-before-seen material from archives in multiple countries, and interviews with the participants including officers from MI6 and MI5, the KGB and CIA, Redwood combines the shadowy world of the Spy and the Traitor with the action of SAS: Rogue Heroes. It lifts the lid on an unknown and highly significant Cold War victory, on the machinations of history's Great Game, and on how espionage really works.Without Redwood, our world would be very different – and might not exist at all.About the author:For further information on Ben Macintyre's catalogue of works, please visit our author page:Ben Macintyre Books | WaterstonesAccessibility:Please email events.york@waterstones.com for assistance enquiries.City Screen Picturehouse is wheelchair accessible and has a customer lift up to Screen 1. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/7a93fc30-a8e2-11f1-a4a1-eb59356bc08b-rimg-w1200-h675-dcc8d8e8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/7acd0d90-a8e2-11f1-a4a1-eb59356bc08b-rimg-w481-h740-dcf80808-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/york/an-evening-with-ben-macintyre┃city-screen-picturehouse-york/100001989826637036 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-09-16T17:40:00Z - Duration: 2 hours - Location: City Screen Picturehouse - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 15, max: 30, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: York - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: City Screen Picturehouse - **lat**: 53.95917009999999 - **long**: -1.0848198 - **full address**: City Screen Picturehouse, 13-17 Coney Street, York, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Evening with Ben Macintyre┃City Screen Picturehouse York - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/843f88defcaf68bdbea3b0b2f18a486ac810195315fa204fc733083098fef141-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf3f3f3-gmir.jpg?v=1779145498 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An Evening with Ben Macintyre┃City Screen Picturehouse York being held? - **A:** An Evening with Ben Macintyre┃City Screen Picturehouse York takes place on Wed, 16 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Wed, 16 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm at City Screen Picturehouse, 13-17 Coney Street, York, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing An Evening with Ben Macintyre┃City Screen Picturehouse York? - **A:** An Evening with Ben Macintyre┃City Screen Picturehouse York is organized by Waterstones. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Waterstones's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Waterstones a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
