Colombia and the United States: Narcotics Traffic and a Failed Foreign Policy

viii, 190pp. Dark green cloth-covered boards, silver titles on front and spine. 8vo. Slightly bumped spine heel. Previous owner’s annotations at top of preface page, otherwise internally this is a very neat, clean, bright and tight volume. No two countries have harmed each other so severely while maintaining friendly governmental relations as the United States and Colombia have done by buying and selling cocaine, with efforts to curb it taking shape in the late 1970s. This is an insider’s account of the American and Colombian governments’ failure to form an alliance in a war against narcotics trafficking during this crucial period.
