In April 1991 the New York Times ran an op-ed alleging that Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign had conspired with the Iranian government to delay the release of 52 American hostages until after the election. In return for keeping Americans in captivity until Reagan assumed office, the Republicans had secretly funnelled arms to Iran. Investigative journalist Craig Unger was one of the first reporters covering the story, and while attempting to unravel the mystery he was fired, sued and ostracized as a counternarrative took hold: the story was a hoax. Now Unger finally shares what really happened in 1980, in a real-life political thriller filled with double agents, CIA operatives, slippery politicians, KGB documents, wealthy Republicans and dogged journalists.
