Description
In this incisive account, Lawrence E. Walsh traces the long arc of the Iran-Contra investigation and the independent counsel’s relentless pursuit of truth amid political obstruction. Over seven years, the inquiry exposes how decisions were concealed, how official narratives were managed, and how the consequences of a cover-up ripple outward through government and public trust. Blending legal rigor with narrative clarity, the book illuminates the mechanics of accountability—what happens when power resists oversight and when institutions are forced to confront their own failures. At its core, it is a study of deception, responsibility, and the fragile firewall between secrecy and democracy.
