From the author:

"In 1992, two freelance Colorado based investigative reporters, co-authored an almost universally ignored book entitled The Gary Hart Set-up, based on the curious circumstances, abundant motives and odd conduct of the principals involved in derailing the Hart campaign in 1987. Yet, without a smoking gun those of us who believed that Hart had been, at least partly set up in 1987, had to put up with a good deal of ridicule. In November of 2018, however, back into the public consciousness. The events were the release of a movie based on Hart’s Presidential run in the 1987 starring Hugh Jackman, called The Frontrunner. The other was the publication of an article entitled “Was Gary Hart Set-up?” in the November 2018 issue of the Atlantic which asked “What are we to make of the deathbed confession of the political operative and 1988 Bush Campaign manager, Lee Atwater, newly revealed, that he staged the events that brought down the Democratic candidate in 1987?”"

Spiritually, this book is on some True Detective: Season 1 wavelength - the long quiet after all leads dry up spurred on by new information almost 30 years later...but in this case a deeper dive into political intrigue rather than cultic murder. A fascinating study that posits the question "was George HW Bush playing us this whole time?"
