The Updated ‘Trick or Treason’ Now Available

From Editor Robert Parry: The new edition of my book, Trick or Treason: The 1980 October Surprise Mystery, is just back from the printers. It tells the remarkable story of political and intelligence intrigue that surrounded America’s pivotal 1980 election.

This new edition not only recounts my PBS-Frontline investigation into this historic case but has a new afterword bringing up to date the mystery of whether Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush did conspire with Iranian extremists to delay the release of 52 American hostages to assure President Carter’s defeat, an act close to treason.parry-trickortreasonfrontcover4

    Robert Parry?

    Aren’t you the guy who correctly and exactly described where Osama bin Laden was to be found around 10 or 11 years ago, yet it took the CIA how long to locate him?

    Obviously, they should shut down the CIA, DIA, FBI, DHS and probably the NSA and make you the Intelligence Czar, sir.

    Mr. Parry, it would be helpful to have this latest edition’s International Standard Book Number plus the location and name of its publisher. I’m unable, at this writing, to find either on the Web. Thank you!
