Anotace

Although the link between illegal drug trafficking and terrorist operations has been clearly established by commentators and scholars, the political will to combine enforcement efforts in the two areas is still lacking. In fact, it may be that decisive action is defeated in both cases merely by the failure to see that drug flow and terrorism are two aspects of the same problem. This well-researched and informative book paves the way for policymakers to develop that will and take that necessary action. With a convincingly detailed demonstration that narco-terrorism is a thriving reality—citing, for example, facilities that combine guerilla training and drug processing, and documenting meetings between political leaders and drug lords, the author lays out a powerful program that coordinates strong legal, political, military, and social education initiatives which, taken together, will at last allow us to contain this growing menace. Now that a full-scale “war on terror” is under way in the wake of the events of September 11th, the time to apply such a unified strategy has come. The sense, widespread in recent years, that the separate wars on drugs and terror are both “unwinnable” has been overcome. The remarkably thorough and well-thought-out strategy presented here, encompassing a wide spectrum from public awareness programs to specialized military action, is sure to win adherents in the determined effort to get to the root of the problem and stop the financing of terrorism via illegal drug revenues
