Fascinating account of how Ronald Reagan's campaign manager William Casey negoitiated with Iranians and Israelis during the 1980 presidential campaign to have American hostages held for a longer period so as to undermine President Jimmy Carter's re-election.
Truly an insight into the world of politicians, arms dealers, and double agents written by a Washington insider who served under Ford, Carter and Reagan on the National Security Council after a 22 year Navy career.

While Republicans claim they fear October surprises they seem to be the ones always carrying them out.

An excellent piece of journalism on an unfortunate piece of US history. Gary Sick, who served on the National Security Council of Republican and Democratic Presidents, and was princip White House Aide during the Iranian hostage crisis in the 1980's, gives the lowdown on the behind the scenes (illegal) dealings of the Reagan campaign which lead to the hostages being kept longer in order to effect the outcome (in Reagan's favor) of the presidential election against Jimmy Carter.
