Ex-CIA Officer Talks 1980 Argo Hostage Operation on Monday

Stop by the Livingston Public Library to hear a former United States CIA officer talk about the behind-the-scenes events during the 1980 Argo hostage operation.

Retired CIA Executive Officer and author Carlos D. Luria will talk at the library Monday about how six Americans were rescued by Tony Mendez in January 1980. The discussion will begin at 7:30 p.m. 

Mendez cooked up a fake movie named "Argo" and pretended to scout filming locations in Iran to get the hostages out. 

Luria is the author of "Skating on the Edge: A Memoir and Journey through a Metamorphosis of the CIA."
