Описание:

"An important work." --John Prados, author of President's Secret Wars

"This definitive account of the Phoenix program, the US attempt to destroy the Viet Cong through torture and summary execution, remains sobering reading for all those trying to understand the Vietnam War and the moral ambiguities of America's Cold War victory. Though carefully documented, the book is written in an accessible style that makes it ideal for readers at all levels, from undergraduates to professional historians." --Alfred W. McCoy, author of The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade

Описание: The Strength of the Wolf is the first complete history of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (1930-1968). Working undercover around the globe, the FBN's charismatic "case-making" agents penetrated the Mafia and its French connection. In the process, however, they uncovered the national security establishment's ties to organized crime. Victims of their freewheeling methods and unparalleled success in hunting down society's predators, the agents were ultimately targeted for destruction by the FBI and CIA. Based largely on interviews with case-making agents, The Strength of the Wolf provides a new, exciting, and revealing chapter in American history.

Описание: A "very dramatic and] compelling" World War II story of murder, mutiny, and a military cover-up, from the author of The Phoenix Program (The New York Times).

Captured by the Japanese while on patrol in the fetid jungles of New Guinea, Douglas Valentine's father, who'd enlisted in the US Army at age sixteen, was sent to a prison camp in the Philippines, where he was interned with Australian and British soldiers.

The events that followed make up this "well-told, chilling" story of betrayal and brutality--a powerful tale of a son uncovering the traumatic events that shaped the rest of his father's life (Los Angeles Times Book Review).

"Not just a searing picture of life in a terrible POW camp, it is also a significant historical document about a place that the U.S. military says never existed." --Publishers Weekly
