Bobby Egan – is a ribs restaurant owner, high school dropout, former drug addict and roofing contractor from Hackensack, NJ – who, through his sheer determination and in some sense his naiveté, managed to insert himself into the highest levels of diplomatic relations between the U.S. and North Korea. Over a thirteen-year friendship with Pyongyang’s man in New York, Han Song Ryol, Bobby managed to entangle himself with the FBI, unhinge the CIA and NSC, befriend Ross Perot, get injected with truth serum in North Korea and offer some of the only real insight that our government had about the "intelligence black hole.” His is the story of a patriot and an unlikely double agent. Funny and mind-boggling, it's as though Tony Soprano took a seat at the U.N. and tried to stop a nuclear war. Sometimes peacemakers come from the strangest places.
