NEW YORK—March 29, 2016–Morgan James’s new release, Freedom Flight: A True Account of the Cold War’s Greatest Escape by Frank Iszak, recounts the story of the most infamous breach of the Iron Curtain.
Nearly 60 years ag
o, seven brave young people decided to take a dangerous journey in pursuit of freedom. Oppressed by the Communist regime of the People’s Republic of Hungary, Frank Iszak and his friends devised a plan to hijack a plane and fly it over the Iron Curtain, hoping to find life and freedom in West Germany. They had no weapons. They had no map. They had no guarantees. They merely had hope.
With a first hand account of the tyranny of the Soviet Union and the trauma inflicted by the Cold War, Frank Iszak transports readers to scene from long ago, with vividness that will let them feel the desperation and need for escape coursing through them. With its riveting cliffhangers and unforgettable account of the tenacity of the human spirit, Freedom Flight will keep readers on the edge of their seats and leave them with a renewed sense of gratitude for their freedom.
Time Magazine says, “it has all the elements of a blockbuster,” and the book is currently being transformed into a major motion picture. In print and on screen, Freedom Flight will take you on a life or death adventure through an era of darkness and on a quest for a brighter future.

About the Author:
Frank Iszak was a journalist at the apex of the Communist terror in Hungary when his article about the dissolution of a collective farm landed him in a uranium mine for “re-education.” He escaped, but remained a fugitive within the heavily guarded borders of Hungary. In order to escape Hungary, he organized a boxing team and on their way to the regional championship, they diverted their domestic flight across the Iron Curtain. Condemned to death (in absentia), he received political asylum in the West and immigrated to the U.S. He worked as a chemist, publisher, public speaker, private investigator, and martial artist. Today, he teaches yoga in San Diego with his wife, Serpil.
