Theres a cool autobio book by Don Cox called "Just Another removed" that details some of this. Obviously the Feds played a part but Don himself cautions not to give them too much credit. There's plenty we can learn from what transpired aside from that. Leadership was an issue, and sexism was a really big issue are two big takeaways. A lot of the other stuff requires a bit more nuance to explain and would be best learned by the book itself. Interesting and not too long a read.
