The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade

A stunning exposé of official hypocrisy, The Politics of Heroin probes the failure of the U.S. “war on drugs” and meticulously documents CIA complicity in international drug trafficking both during and after the Cold War – in Afghanistan, Southeast Asia, Central America, and Latin America. The consequences of this complicity are evident today in an eruption of heroin trafficking worldwide, just as the legacy of the CIA’s covert wars is manifest in vast regions that have become black holes of global instability.

After five U.S. drug wars at a cost of over $150 billion, production and consumption of narcotics are currently at record levels. Drug prosecutions in America have packed our prisons without curtailing drug use. This book confronts the utter failure of U.S. drug policy at home and abroad, and raises disturbing questions about the future role of the Central Intelligence Agency in U.S. foreign policy.
