The Politics Of Heroin by Alfred McCoy
CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade
The book provides an exhaustive analysis of the global narcotics trade, particularly focusing on the involvement of various governments and intelligence agencies in the heroin trade throughout the 20th century. It delves into how these entities have facilitated and sometimes directly engaged in drug trafficking to finance military operations and political agendas, particularly in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. The work combines historical research, interviews, and on-the-ground investigation to expose the complex and often covert relationships between politics, warfare, and the global drug trade.
