CIA drug connections have been suspected since its creation in 1947. Yet from Southeast Asia to Europe and from Afghanistan to Central America, Agency links to the drug trade have not been pursued by the media. A new book written by Jeffrey St. Clair with syndicated columnist Alexander Cockburn, Whiteout: The CIA, Drugs and the Press, traces the history of this blind spot. As acerbic in speech as in print, Cockburn reveals the government's most embarrassing moments.
Alexander Cockburn has been a keen observer of the US scene and has established himself in the front rank of media critics since his arrival in this country from Britain in 1972. He is a regular columnist for The Nation and the Los Angeles Times. He is the author of Corruptions of Empire, The Fate of the Forest, co-authored with Suzanna Hecht, Encounters with the Sphinz: Journeys of a Radical in Changing Times and Whiteout: The CIA, Drugs and the Press.
