Dark Alliance: The CIA, the Contras, and the Cocaine Explosion

The Dark Alliance: The CIA, The Contras, and the Crack Cocaine Explosion is a groundbreaking book that exposes the shocking truth about how our government knowingly allowed massive amounts of drugs and money to change hands at the expense of our communities.

With newly declassified documents, undercover DEA audio and videotapes that had never been publicly released, federal court testimony, and interviews, author Gary Webb demonstrates how the CIA-backed Nicaraguan Contras were involved in the crack cocaine trade and how our government turned a blind eye to it.

This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the true origins of the crack cocaine epidemic and how it was allowed to happen on our watch.
