From the back cover:
FOR THE FIRST TIME!
THE EXPLOSIVE STORY BEHIND THE HEADLINES!
With a cast of characters that includes Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Robert "Bud" McFarlane, William Casey and John Poindexter, Oliver North tells for the first time the story of his life and reveals the startling details about top secret hostage negotiations, arms sales to Iran, and the covert pipeline of funds to the Nicaraguan contras - all of which erupted before the stunned American public as the "Iron-Contra Affair."
From his birth in Texas and childhood in upstate New York to his service in Vietnam, from his assignment as head of a clandestine counter-terrorist group within the U.S. government to the hearings and trial that ensued, Oliver North tells his candid and compelling story.
An uncommon portrait of a man and an astonishing look at power operating at the highest and most covert levels. This is an extraordinary book certain to be the center of discussion and debate for decades to come.
