Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Congressional Committees Investigating the Iran-Contra Affair: Appendix C, Chronology of Events
The House Select Committee took several steps to make this document something ofa roadmap to guide students through iran-contra and to encourage further study of this historic time. Each entry is dated in a way that readers can easily determine the timeframe. When the date could not be pinpointed precisely. That fact is indicated. Each item is labeled to indicate at a glance to which facet of iran-contra the entry relates. The entries include Presidential statements and Congressional actions.
This format helps to demonstrate the interaction and the meshing of iran-contra events; the interplay and maneuvering of private agents and Federal Government officials who were secretly selling arms to terrorist Iran to free American hostages - contrary to u.s. Public policy - and secretly diverting money from the sale to buy weapons for the Contras - also contrary to public policy and perhaps in violation ofthe law. It weaves together what was being said and done publicly and being said and done privately by this group of Government officials and private agents.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book dives into the complex and controversial Iran-Contra affair, a period of American history marked by secret arms deals and covert operations. The author meticulously reconstructs the events that unfolded between 1981 and 1987, weaving together a tapestry of public pronouncements and clandestine actions by government officials, private agents, and foreign actors. Through a detailed chronology of events, the book meticulously traces the origins of the affair, from President Reaganââ â¢s initial pronouncements on terrorism to the clandestine operations orchestrated by officials within the National Security Council (NSC). The narrative examines the administrationââ â¢s efforts to support the Contras in Nicaragua, despite congressional restrictions, and the controversial decision to sell arms to Iran in exchange for the release of American hostages. The book underscores the intricate network of individuals and organizations involved in these operations, exposing the motives, strategies, and consequences of their actions. It sheds light on the interplay between political ambition, national security concerns, and the pursuit of private interests, ultimately revealing the inner workings of this clandestine affair. The book's insights provide a critical examination of the Iran-Contra affair, illuminating the ethical and legal complexities of government secrecy and the potential for covert operations to undermine public trust.
