The book explores the intricate connections between U.S. foreign policy and the dynamics of drugs, oil, and intelligence from Vietnam to contemporary conflicts. It highlights how alliances with drug-trafficking entities have fueled global drug trafficking and shaped U.S. interventions in Third World nations. The author introduces the concepts of parapolitics and deep politics, emphasizing the need for a shift towards 'soft politics' that prioritizes persuasion and nonviolence in the face of ongoing military engagements, particularly in Iraq.
