Unger, a former editor-in-chief of Boston Magazine and contributing editor for Vanity Fair, examines the 1980 presidential election and accusations that the Reagan campaign interfered with the Carter administration’s efforts to free 52 American hostages held in Iran. Unger’s 30-year pursuit of the story behind the 1980 “October Surprise” culminates in this work, which was published on Oct. 1, President Carter’s 100th birthday.
