Description
Kill the Messenger tells the story of Gary Webb, a journalist whose 1996 series on the CIA-crack cocaine connection sparked controversy and ultimately led to his resignation. Despite mounting evidence that his stories were correct, Webb's editors are accused of betraying him.
This book examines the "Dark Alliance" controversy, exploring its impact on journalism in America and how it contributed to Webb's tragic death by suicide. Through exhaustive research and personal interviews, author Nick Schou sheds light on a media scandal that remains one of the most significant in recent memory.
