The Plato Escape

Another chapter in the Cold War began in Budapest, Hungary on October 23, 1956. The Allied powers of the United States, Britain, and France could not agree on what to do about the Hungarian Revolution. Against the wishes of their allies, the CIA forges a daring plan to free Hungary’s inspirational leader, Imre Nagy, create a government-in-exile, and force the Soviet Union to leave Hungary.
The CIA selects two special agents, Quincy McGregor and Steve Morgan, to complete the mission. McGregor, daring ace fighter pilot of World War II and Korea, will fly the airplane into Hungary. Morgan, paratrooper and weapons expert, is chosen because he speaks fluent Hungarian.
Everything goes wrong from the start. Trapped in Hungary and betrayed by their government, McGregor and Morgan elude Russian KGB agents and American CIA agents in a breathtaking escape to Zurich, Switzerland. A surprise ending unveils a secret Russian agent within the CIA, and McGregor and Morgan get away with three million dollars.
