Can anybody recommend good books to read up on Iran-Contra? "Good" books include those NOT written by people like Gerald POSER (woops, silly me, I meant Posner!) I looked on-line, but I'm not recognizing any familiar authors who I can trust.

Webster Tarpley: The Unauthorized Biography of George H. W. Bush. for example. There is an interesting chapter about Bush's involvement. See also: ttp://www.defraudingamerica.com/http://www.de ... erica.com/ (author Robert Stich has revealing copies of letters of G. Bush to ss-men in his book "Defrauding America" and others.) Chris

not a book comment, but interesting mix of people....Posada went to work in El Salvador in the Iran-Contra drugs-supply operation being run out of El Salvador by CIA agent Felix Rodriguez (who had killed Che Guevara in Bolivia in 1967) and by Col. Oliver North out of the White House. Subsequently Posada helped in Operation Condor (involving CIA, DISIP and DINA, the Chilean intelligence service), which exterminated many South American progressives. He also worked as security agent for the Guatemalan dictatorship in the late 1980’s. From El Salvador he masterminded and directed the 1997 Havana tourist hotel bombings.this book looks like it may be reputablehttp://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D0CE0DB103DF93AA15756C0A967958260
