Product Details

Praise

“Webb reminds us that the Reagan-approved contra program attracted lowlifes and thugs the way manure draws flies. He guides the reader through a netherworld of dope-dealers, gunrunners, and freelance security consultants, which on occasion overlapped with the US government. He entertainingly details the honor, dishonor, and deals among thieves…. All in all, it’s a disgraceful picture—one that should permanently taint the happy-face hues of the Reagan years.” —David Corn, Washington Post

“Two years ago Gary Webb touched off a national controversy with his news stories linking the CIA and the Nicaraguan Contras to the rise of the crack epidemic in Los Angeles and elsewhere. His gripping new book, richly researched and documented, deserves an even wider audience and discussion.” —Peter Dale Scott, San Francisco Chronicle

“Webb [is] a highly regarded investigative reporter…. Dark Alliance is his effort to tell his side of the story and set the record straight.” —James Adams, New York Times Book Review
