Purchase options and add-ons

- Lost History is a kind of All the President's Men in reverse. As that journalistic classic followed Woodward and Bernstein exposing Watergate, Lost History is the inside story of reporters who broke the key stories of the Iran-contra scandal. But instead of basking in praise, they paid a high personal price. In a larger sense, Lost History explains how the Washington press corps of the 1980s missed or under-reported many of the major scandals of the era, from the dirty secret of Nicaraguan contra-cocaine trafficking to the Guatemalan army's genocide against Mayan Indians. Not only does Lost History recover this important historical record from the government's secret files, but it shows how the decade of the 1980s was the missing link in the transformation of the Washington press corps from the glory days of Watergate to the tawdry tabloid moments of Monica Lewinsky. This is a book not only about "lost history" but about a political system that has lost its way.

    This book exposes what should be one of the biggest scandals in USA history. Who would have believed that the US government dealt drugs? It's true and this book is the firsthand account. Also, the book shows how the US under Ronald Reagan financed the massacre of Native Americans (Mayans) in Guatemala along with thousands of Salvadoreños - all in the name of fighting communism. It's no longer a Lost History because we can simply open the book and find the truth.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Media Manipulation and Political Corruption
    Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2003
    Robert Parry is a reporter with a wealth of experience who combines knowledge with investigative expertise and a bedrock courage to find the truth and faithfully report it. Here is the reporter who uncovered the illegal government operation of Oliver North in the National Security Council office, which violated federal law by providing weapons, manpower, and logistical advice to the Contras in Nicaragua. The government did its best to smear the Associated Press and later Newsweek reporter, painting him as unreliable and a man with his own agenda, but ultimately the truth won out.
    Parry brilliantly documents what the Contras were really all about. The so-called Nicaraguan freedom fighters which President Ronald Reagan referred to as "the moral equivalent of our Founding Fathers" were instead involved in a major drug networking operation, aided by the CIA. The result was that scores of youngsters in South Central Los Angeles became drug addicts as they moved their operations into America while battles waged among young gang members over turf control. When Senator John Kerry sought to expose what was happening he too was denounced as a troublemaker operating against America's best interests.
    Parry tells about what political correctness really is, and it is far removed from what is depicted by right wingers seeking to pin the tag on liberal critics. To Parry this correctness takes the form of barking on cue in alliance with and as supplicants to the major commercial interests which hold sway not only over those in political power, but on the media itself. His efforts to exercise independence of judgment were accompanied by negative reactions from powers in the media as well as Washington operatives. All the same he prevailed, and hopefully he and others will continue telling their stories despite the fervent efforts to silence them.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Required reading for all Americans
    Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2001
    This book is fabulous. I have read much of the literature surrounding the Iran-Contra operation and this is one of the best. Parry was a leader in exposing that operation, as well as so many others. Here he leads readers through the many attempts of the government to control the information we receive. Anyone who dismisses this as mere "conspiracy theory" obviously never read the book (and so many others that are backed up by the govt's own documents). Parry is no armchair reporter. He has personally spoken with countless sources involved in these operations. Do yourself a favor. Buy the book and make up your own mind.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Disturbing...and right on target
    Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2011
    Parry dredges up all the stories that I remember seeing in the news, but then abruptly disappeared, with no follow up from our "liberal" media.

    One of the most disturbing moments I ever saw as an American was footage of a Congressional hearing. Congressman Gonzalez from TX asked to discuss the drug allegations. Senator Inouey, a Dem from Hawaii, who was chairing the committee, informed him that they would only discuss that in closed session! Yikes!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Both enthralling and maddening
    Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2009
    I just finished reading this book. I had a hard time putting it down. I usually read for a short time in bed before falling asleep, but I often found myself still reading this book after an hour or more!

    I found this book both enthralling and maddening. Enthralling because it is history that happened while I was an adult that I never knew had happened. Maddening because of the horrible job the press did in keeping us informed.

    Stay informed!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Want to Keep Your Democracy and Freedom - Read This.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 24, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Parry was one of the truly great journalists of the 20th century, a real journalist not the whores you see on the BBC, CNN, MSNBC etc. In this book he relates his various outstanding expose's such as the CIA trafficking cocaine from South America to the USA that began the crack cocaine epidemic in California that spread throughout America. He revealed the CIA's instruction manual for the assassination of political opponents in South America that caused the murder of over 40,000 innocent working people. He supported the work of the great Garry Webb who exposed the Iran Contra Affair with Parry. Web was suicided in 2004 for his Dark Alliance report.
    For all of this, his most important account in this book is the operation by the CIA, as I write, to mussel the main stream media and twist their so called journalists and editors into reporting falsehoods that follow CIA agendas for conflict, war and increased spending on weapons for the industrial military intelligence complex. But the worst part of his analysis is the revelation of manipulation by the CIA of our democratically elected officials and the organisations and structures that are supposed to defend our freedoms and our democracy. Even as I write this in 2018 the late Mr Parry's words ring so true regarding this real threat to us. Go to Consortiumnews dot com for more details of the great man.
