Author and journalist Harvey Wasserman examined the "October Surprise" in this interview recorded November 7, 1988. The central activity of this effort was the clandestine arrangement of the prime movers in the Reagan campaign of 1980 with the Iranian government to hold the American hostages in the embassy until after the elections in return for arms to be shipped to Iran after Reagan assumed office. Wasserman wrote stories about this in the alternative press as well as some mainstream newspapers.
