Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Walsh was the independent counsel for the Iran-Contra investigation from 1986 to 1993. Though he writes earnestly and with the highest integrity, his recounting of the events surrounding Iran-Contra is as confusing as the hearings themselves and is overburdened by excessive detail. Walsh alleges that Presidents Reagan and Bush could have been indicted for obstruction of justice and misuse of the presidential pardon, respectively. However, Reagan is not Nixon, and Iran-Contra never fascinated and repelled the public like Watergate. The long ordeal ended with few perpetrators being convicted, while members of Reagan's cabinet built an impenetrable firewall around the president. Recommended cautiously for large collections; buy as demand warrants.
-?Karl Helicher, Upper Merion Twp. Lib., King of Prussia, Pa.

Walsh's book is a useful record of the scandal and its aftermath.
