5.0 out of 5 stars The Iran-Contra Connection, November 1, 2007

By	cortezhill (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Iran-Contra Connection: Secret Teams and Covert Operations in Reagan Era (Paperback)

This explosive book lays bare the full details of current events [circa 1987], exposing the personalities and institutional relations behind the headlines. It goes beyond the specific events of the recent period to discern the roots of contemporary U.S. covert activity in the history of the past two decades. It delves into the details of CIA and extra-CIA operations including drug-trafficking, gun-running, government-toppling, and assasination.

The authors argue that the Iran-Contra scandal is not merely a plan gone awry, but a consistent outgrowth of a long tradition of covert U.S. activities. From the Bay of Pigs invasion teams to the NSC organizational team; from the CIA and the World Anti-Communist League to the Israeli connection and the State Department; this is the full story, unfettered by concerns of "damage control."
