Description
The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade by Alfred W. McCoy This groundbreaking study reveals the complex web of deceit and corruption that has driven the global drug trade for decades. From the Cold War to the present day, McCoy exposes the dishonesty and dirty dealings at the highest levels of government and intelligence agencies. The book provides a detailed examination of the mechanics of drug trafficking across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and South and Central America. New chapters shed light on the US involvement in the narcotics trade in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and the impact of US drug policy in Central America and Colombia on the global supply of illicit drugs. With meticulous documentation and a global perspective, McCoy's work is a worthwhile read for anyone seeking to understand the true nature of the global drug trade.
