In July 1995, San Jose Mercury-News reporter Gary Webb found the top One - the blockbuster storyline every journalist secretly longs for - without even looking for this. A simple telephone call involving an unexceptional pending drug trial converted into a massive conspiracy involving the Nicaraguan Contra rebels, L.A. and Bay Area crack cocaine retailers, and the Central Brains Agency. For several years during the 1980s, Webb learned, Contra elements shuttled a large number of a great deal of cocaine in to the USA, with the profits heading toward the financing of Contra rebels attempting a counterrevolution in their Nicaraguan homeland. A lot more chilling, Webb quickly noticed, was that the large drug-dealing operation acquired the implicit approval - and occasional outright support - of the CIA, the organization entrusted to prevent illegal drugs from being helped bring in to the United States. In the this audiobook version of Deep Alliance, Webb produces a massive amount of facts that shows that such a circumstance did happen, and more disturbing facts that the power that be that allowed such an alliance are still driven to ruthlessly shield their secrets. Webb's research is impeccable - titles, schedules, places, and dollar amounts get and support with every page, eventually building a towering wall of evidence to get his theories. After the original series of articles ran in the Mercury-News in past due 1996, both Webb and his paper were so severely criticized by politics commentators, government officials, and other customers of the press that his own magazine made a decision it best not to stand behind the series, in place apologizing for the assertions and disavowing his work. Webb stop the paper in disgust in November 1997. This audiobook acts as both a intricate memoir of the time of the Contras and an indictment of the existing express of America's press; Dark Alliance is really as necessary and valuable as it is horrifying and grim.
