Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the intricate connections between U.S. foreign policy and the dynamics of drugs, oil, and intelligence from Vietnam to contemporary conflicts. It highlights how alliances with drug-trafficking entities have fueled global drug trafficking and shaped U.S. interventions in Third World nations. The author introduces the concepts of parapolitics and deep politics, emphasizing the need for a shift towards 'soft politics' that prioritizes persuasion and nonviolence in the face of ongoing military engagements, particularly in Iraq.
