A true story as exhilarating as a great spy thriller, as turbulent as today’s headlines from the
Middle East, 2010 National Best Books Award-winning A Time to Betray reveals what no other previous
CIA operative’s memoir possibly could: the inner workings of the notorious
Revolutionary Guards of Iran, as witnessed by an
Iranian man inside their ranks who spied for the
American government. It is a human story, a chronicle of family and friendships torn apart by a terror-mongering regime, and how the adult choices of three childhood mates during the Islamic Republic yielded divisive and tragic fates.
