Based on the radio show schedule and book descriptions provided, this appears to be a four-hour episode of "CBS Eye on the World with John Batchelor" focusing on two major historical books:
- First Half (Hours 1-2): Discussion of Craig Unger's "Den of Spies," which investigates the alleged "October Surprise" of 1980. Unger's book examines claims that Reagan's campaign, led by Bill Casey, made secret deals with Iran to delay the release of American hostages until after the 1980 election. The book draws on three decades of research, including Robert Parry's previously unseen archives.
- Second Half (Hours 3-4): Coverage of Robert Cwiklik's "Sheridan's Secret Mission," which explores a critical moment in post-Civil War history. The book focuses on General Philip Sheridan's 1874 covert mission to New Orleans, investigating violence against freedmen by the White League. It details how Southern Democrats and paramilitary groups worked to undermine Reconstruction-era protections for Black rights, despite President Grant's efforts to protect freedmen's voting rights.
The show appears to dedicate eight 15-minute segments to each book, allowing for in-depth discussion of these complex historical events and their lasting implications for American politics and race relations.
