CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade

From Library Journal:
In 1972, the CIA attempted to suppress McCoy's classic work, The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia, which charged CIA complicity in the narcotics trade as part of its cold war tactics. Now, this revised and expanded edition, incorporating 20 years of research, discusses in almost overwhelming detail how U.S. drug policies and actions in the Third World has created 'America's heroin plague.' McCoy notes that every attempt at interdiction has only resulted in the expansion of both the production and consumption of drugs. He also charges that 40 years of CIA protection of Asian drug traffickers and active participation in the transport of opium and heroin has undermined U.S. anti-drug efforts. A massive work that raises serious questions.
