Josepher October Surprise

Did the Ronald Reagan/George H.W. Bush presidential campaign negotiate a deal with Khomeini’s Iran to delay the release of the American hostages until after the 1980 election, thereby assuring the Republicans victory over incumbent Jimmy Carter? In this highly original faux history, Brian Josepher BA ’90 places the reader in the middle of the action, fleshing out the negotiations and the players involved.
