Thursday, February 18th, 6 pm: William Marcy, The Politics of Cocaine

Drawing on declassified documents and extensive first-hand research, The Politics of Cocaine takes a hard look at the role the United States played in creating the drug industry that thrives in Central and South America. Author William L. Marcy contends that by conflating anti-Communist and counternarcotics policies, the United States helped establish and strengthen the drug trade as the area’s economic base.
