Seller's Description:
Very good. 574 pages. Wraps, illus., notes on sources, glossary, index. Inscribed by the author. Signed copies are very scarce. Foreword by Congresswoman Maxine Waters. The author, a Pulitzer Prize-winner, died in December 2004, from two gunshot wounds to the head, said to be self-inflicted. This work was based upon a 20, 000 word, three-part investigative series published by the San Jose Mercury, which alleged that Nicaraguan drug traffickers had sold and distributed crack cocaine in Los Angeles during the 1980's, and that the drug profits were used to fund the CIA-supported Nicaraguan Contras. Drawing on declassified CIA documents and extensive interviews with drug dealers and drug lords, Webb reported on the corruption and ultimate responsibility of the CIA for the drug trafficking that plagues the United States.
