Whiteout The CIA, Drugs and the Press

Both a detailed chronology and analysis of the CIA's role as drug baron - from the mind-control drugs of the 40s and 50s, the heroin trade in South-East Asia, support of anti-Castro Cuban drug smugglers and heroin-trafficking Afghan mujahideen, to the organization of drug smuggling from Latin America, most recently, the dissemination of crack into black urban neighborhoods - and, equally crucially, the government denials and convoluted and self-contradictory rationales and whitewash in the nation's most influential newspapers. In an exciting narrative, White-Out lays out in explosive detail one of the most shocking hidden histories of our time.
