{"product_id":"9781935188209","title":"The Insider","description":"This story of heroic American John Patrick Meehan (aka Tad Benson) is true. Tad really spent nine years of his life in and out of the USSR during the Space Race, helping to keep Soviet cosmonauts alive. Despite the official denials—to this day—that the U.S. had a man inside the USSR, Benson did his humanitarian work as a physician and scientist behind the scenes and without recognition. He was a wonderful friend who began to tell me of his secret career when he found that his life would soon end. Grudgingly, US Intel agencies have admitted that Tad was one of their own during the Space Race years, but little else. It is now possible to reveal the actual name of \"The Insider.\" However, in order to disguise other names, this book is still a novel and not a history.","brand":"Star Publish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044188537072,"sku":"9781935188209","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935188209_p0.jpg?v=1763656168","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935188209","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
