Deep Politics, Dark Events
Peter Dale Scott
Hosted by Bonnie Faulkner

Peter Dale Scott is our most fearless and illuminating chronicler of the lethal and mysterious web of unaccountable violence linking government to organized crime, the drug trade, state terror…”
— Richard Falk, Princeton University + U.C. Santa Barbara

“I said of…Drugs, Oil and War (by Peter Dale Scott) ‘It makes most academic and journalistic explanations of our past and current interventions read like government propaganda written for children.’ Now Scott has written an even better book.”
—Daniel Ellsberg, author of Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and The Pentagon Papers
