Trick or Treason: The October Surprise Mystery - Robert Parry - Hardcover

Did the Republican Party, fearing that Jimmy Carter would obtain the release of the hostages in Tehran before the 1980 election, make a deal with Iran to delay their freedom? Did Ronald Reagan's campaign manager, WWII spymaster William Casey, have a series of meetings with Iranian officials? Did vice presidential candidate George Bush, himself a former CIA director, attend any of those meetings? Was it merely coincidence that the hostages were not released until the minute Reagan was inaugurated? For more than a decade, these questions tantalized Washington insiders. After years of investigation, award-winning reporter Robert Parry became convinced something HAD happened, that there were too many unexplained gaps in Casey's & Bush's calendars, that too many witnesses told dovetailing stories for them all to have been lying. An astonishing perversion of democracy had taken place. In gripping, detective-story fashion, this book tells how. Robert Parry was an AP reporter from 1974 to 1987 & a NEWSWEEK correspondent from 1987 to 1990. Since then he has been a reporter for the Public Broadcasting System show FRONTLINE. $24.95.
