ITEM OVERVIEW
The stunning exposé of official hypocrisy, probing the failure of the various US "war on drugs" and meticulously documenting CIA complicity in international drug trafficking both during, and after, the Cold War. Now in an even fatter, updated edition.
"A fascinating, meticulous unraveling of the Byzantine complexities of the drug trade...A pioneering book." —New York Times
"The appalling fact is that McCoy's new and extensive update of his classic work remains as relevant as ever. After first trying to suppress the book's publication, the CIA simply denied its message and got away with the lie." —San Francisco Chronicle
