Lost History: Contras, Cocaine, the Press & 'Project Truth' by Robert Parry

From the Publisher

Lost History is a kind of All the President's Men, in reverse. It tells the inside story of how reporters uncovered the Iran-contra scandal and paid dearly with their careers. More broadly, the book explains how the vaunted Watergate press corps of the 1970s changed into the tabloidish Monica Lewinsky press corps of the 1990s -- and how much of this era's most important history has been "lost."

About the Author:

Robert Parry, a 22-year veteran of Washington journalism, broke many of the stories now known as the Iran-Contra Affair, including the first story about Oliver North's secret contra-support operation and first story about Nicaraguan contra drug trafficking. His career with the Associated Press, Newsweek and PBS's Frontline program has taken Parry to hot spots all over the world, from Iran to Central America. He now edits the investigative publication, iF Magazine, and the Internet magazine, Consortiumnews.com
