Himalayan Spy Mission | Back to the Mountains with Pete Takeda | 4
About this episode
When outdoor writer Pete Takeda first heard the story of a covert CIA operation in the Himalayas, he couldn’t believe it. So he decided to investigate. His curiosity led him on an adventure to the Himalayas in search of answers. Today, Pete joins host Cassie De Pecol to share how he ascended some of the planet’s most challenging peaks to research his book, An Eye At The Top of the World: The Terrifying Legacy of the Cold War’s Most Daring C.I.A. Operation.
