"The administration in disarray--foreign policy in disarray--cover-up--Who knew what when?" George Bush noted in his personal diary on November 25, 1986, the day that Iran-Contra exploded in the United States and became a major part of our national psyche. Several years later, the controversy surrounding the cover-up, and what George Bush knew and when, sustains the Iran-Contra affair as a contemporary political issue. This reader provides the most important tools for understanding this complex episodethe actual top-secret documents generated by the foreign policy decisions and covert operations in Central America and Iran, the arms-for-hostage swaps, the Contra war, the quid pro quos, the orchestrated official deception, and the Bush pardons that make up one of the most important political scandals since Watergate.

Good collection of declassified Iran-Contra documents,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Iran-Contra Scandal (The National Security Archive Document) (Paperback)
This book is an excellent collection of important documents
on the Iran-Contra affair. There is nothing like reading the
documents for yourself, and not counting on someone else
to interpret them for you

This is a great companion to most books about Iran-Contra. It has all the archival research nessassary from declassified sources and Freedom of Information Act requests. It's great to see this material in one place in its original texts.
