5.0 out of 5 stars Remember?, April 15, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Ann Wroe is a British historian, whose impressive knowledge of the European Middle Ages might seem an odd preparation for a book about the most sordid episode of duplicity and opportunism in modern American history, the Iran-Contra affair engineered under the back side of the aegis of Ronald Reagan. I've just been rereading her splendid book "A Fool and His Money", based on the archival transcript of a trial in Rodez, France, in 1370. One trial reminded me of another. I read this powerful book about poilitcal ethics when it first appeared 15 years ago; most of my opinions about the misconduct of North, Poindexter, and their den master came from this book, but I don't remember it well enough to review it in more detail. I'm just glad that it's still available used. Read it, Americans! You need it!
