Been reading Charlie Wilson's War. Great that Wilson was the advocate for defeating the Russians in Afghanistan. But because he was a dem, you also learn how Tip O'Neal used Wilson to save Murtha's butt in Abscam.
And in the background you are witnessing Carter destroying the CIA, and the dems sabatoging the effort to stop the Sandanistas. Little tidbits like Tip's daughter working directly with the Sandanistas in Nicaragua. The democrats are and have been a filthy corrupt disaster for decades.

Are you sure it was Tip O'Neill's daughter who supported the Sandanistas? I thought it was his niece, a Maryknoll nun.

Just about every democrat has the dream of destroying America's traditions and turning it into a marxist state.

One of the best books on what was happening during that period. It also give you a real perspective on Afghanistan and how we got to where we are today.
