Book Reviews of Drugs, Oil, and War: The United States in Afghanistan, Colombia, and Indochina
Book Review: Brilliant Analysis
Summary: 5 Stars
Drugs, Oil, and War:In this brilliant book, Peter Dale Scott shows how since World War Two the CIA has recurrently used drug-trafficking allies against its enemies in oil-rich areas of the Third World, and how this has contributed to a staggering increase in the global drug traffic. He traces this practice back to the surprising connection in 1950 between the responsible CIA officer and Meyer Lansky's chief money-laundering bank. He warns that America's recent restoration of the drug traffic in Afghanistan will help fuel an increased wave of terrorism in the region and the world.
