Description
This e-single features articles about the Iran-Contra affair, a scandal that was exposed in 1986 and involved the sale of weapons to Iran by the United States government in exchange for American hostages. The proceeds were then used to help the right-wing contras who were fighting the socialist Sandinista government in Nicaragua.
