It examines Ronald Reagan’s second term through the Iran-Contra affair and the internal weaknesses that the scandal exposed inside the White House. Rather than treating the period as a simple scandal recap, the book studies how a presidency built on image, delegation, and political confidence could drift away from operational control. Its purpose is both explanatory and historical: it reconstructs the chain of decisions, rivalries, and assumptions that allowed covert policy to develop outside normal accountability. The result is a detailed account of presidential power under stress, written for readers interested in American politics, government institutions, and investigative reporting. The book is especially concerned with the gap between public rhetoric and administrative reality, making it a study of how political authority can appear strong while becoming increasingly fragile underneath.
