Summary: Terrific book
Comment: I read this book in college and gave my copy to my history prof when I left school. If I had known how difficult it would be to try and get another copy, I might not have left it. (just kidding Proffessor Gill) This is perhaps the best book I have read since Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich as far as bringing a dense and complicated seiries of events together in an easily understandable, fascinating read. I followed the Iran-Contra "affair" very closely as it happened, and read many books on it before this; but only after reading this book did I feel as if I actually understood what went on. A keeper for anyone's non-fiction library.

Summary: Terrific synopsis of the facts known about Iran-Contra
Comment: This was an excellent book. It appeared to be meticulously researched. Mr. Draper took the amazing personalities of the Iran-Contra affair and made them very human, but with little or no loss of credibility concerning the story that he told - an unusual feat these days. His book delivered no smoking gun of any kind, but it certainly pointed the finger at the President and the Vice President who were clearly willing to go as close to breaking the law as they could in order to pursue a controversial policy. The stand-out person in the tale is Oliver North - a classic example of a man who, with apparent earnestness and conviction concerning his own mission, can become an arrogant dangerous player when given real or associated power. Given the reader's subsequent knowledge of North's rise to political prominence and wealth, reading this account of his actions is an even more satisfying experience
