An Honest Review of a Dedicated, but Dishonest Marine

This book is an honest review of a controversial Iran-Contra figure destined to stir controversy in the psyche of the American public. The development of North's character, from his midshipman years at the Naval Academy, his years as a Marine platoon leader in Vietnam, to the events leading up to his ascendancy into the public arena are well-explored. Helps in shedding some insights into the white lies, and self-justification of a man who seeks to cover up his past shortcomings to this day. I am under no illusions that LTC North was a competent, and dedicated Marine, but his dishonesty troubles me deeply. Let's hope that the Colonel maintain what little integrity and honesty he has, after what is said about him by others.
