Through interviews with former narcotics agents, politicians, and bureaucrats, this expos documents previously unknown aspects of the history of federal drug law enforcement, from the formation of the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs and the creation of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) up to the present day. The narrative examines how successive administrations expanded federal drug law enforcement operations at home and abroad; investigates how the CIA comprised the war on drugs; analyzes the Reagan, Bush, and Clinton administrations failed attempts to alter the DEA's course; and traces the agency's evolution into its final and current stage of narcoterrorism.
