Product Information
A spy story, a mystery, a father-son heartbreaker: Cyrus Copeland seeks the truth about his father, an American executive arrested in Iran for spying at the time of the 1979 hostage crisis, then put on trial for his life in a Revolutionary Court. As a young boy living in Tehran in 1979, Cyrus Copeland--child of an American father and Iranian mother--never dreamed that his dad, an employee of Westinghouse, would be in danger for his life. That is, until the moment his father was arrested on espionage charges and put on trial in a Revolutionary Court. Almost simultaneously, more than fifty other Americans were taken hostage at the U.S. Embassy by Islamist militants, an event that has recently captivated the world again with the success of the book and film Argo . With the hostage crisis receiving most of the attention from the media and White House, it was largely left to Copeland's mother and family to negotiate his father's reprieve from the firing squad. Now, more than thirty years later, Copeland sets out to find the truth about his father and his role in the Iranian hostage crisis. Was he in fact an intelligence operative--a weapons-system expert--caught red-handed by the Iranian regime, or was he innocent all along? Part mystery, part reportage, and part detective work, Copeland's brilliantly original family epic is a powerful memoir and adventure.

Praise for Off the Radar : ""An expansive and eloquent memoir that reads like a real-life spy novel ... There are lessons both personal and political in the legacy of strife [Copeland] inherits, and Off the Radar explores both with pitch-perfect tone and deep emotion." -- Booklist "Copeland . . . explores the mystery surrounding his father's controversial persecution in revolutionary-era Iran. The author attempts to reclaim his family's pre-revolutionary past and uncover the mysterious life and death of his father, American Max Copeland, who was married to (and eventually represented by) the first female lawyer of the Islamic Republic. . . . [A]n engaging narrative . . . that highlights his family's resilience in the face of challenging, unforeseen political circumstances. Along the way, the author's personal immersion in his family's history helps him come to terms with his Iranian heritage and allows him to build a much-needed figurative bridge between two very different but equally misunderstood cultures. Both a gripping personal story and an insightful historical-cultural study."-- Kirkus Reviews Praise for Farewell, Godspeed : "Eulogies as love stories? They most certainly are. This is an extraordinary collection of 64 good-byes to the famous..." -- The Boston Globe It is impossible to read these tributes without feeling immense pride... and without weeping, a nourishing experience of humility." -- The Baltimore Sun "A fascinating collection of memorial remarks about 50 well-known figures." -- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Copeland has compiled 64 memorials to larger-than-life individuals, written by eulogizers who are equally unforgettable..." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer, Praise for Off the Radar : "Copeland . . . explores the mystery surrounding his father's controversial persecution in revolutionary-era Iran.

Using journals, interviews with his father's friends and former coworkers, and frank discussions with his mother, the author here puts the pieces together to find out if his father was a CIA agent in Iran during the revolution in the late 1970s. Born in Oklahoma, Max Copeland toured the world at a young age, married Shahin, an Iranian woman, converted to Islam, and moved the family to Iran to eventually become an employee of Westinghouse. Things turn as Max is accused of being a CIA spy and is put on trial for his life. The author weaves a tale full of uncertainty, tension, and drama. The character that shines the most is Shahin, who fights with all of her strength, intelligence, and will as she tries to save her husband and family, not knowing for sure if he is truly a spy or not. VERDICT: This brilliant, touching tale of espionage, discovering family, and balancing cultures is recommended for fans of memoirs, spy stories, and Iranian culture." -- Library Journal (starred review) "An expansive and eloquent memoir that reads like a real-life spy novel ...
