Description du livre
Escobar built his drug trafficking industry to such an extent that he eventually controlled over 80% of the cocaine sent to america. With his own factories and an entire fleet of aeroplanes and ships, including two radio-controlled submarines, it has been estimated that escobar smuggled 70 to 80 tonnes of cocaine from colombia to america per month, and as much as 11 tonnes in each flight. In order to launder the drug money, the medellin cartel controlled a large amount of crooked white-collar workers, such as bankers, lawyers and extended family.

With meticulous analysis and real-world case studies, the author reveals how rogue states like china, russia, and iran exploit this nexus to wage asymmetric warfare against democracy itself. But it doesn't stop there—this book also offers a bold blueprint for defeating narco-socialism: zero-tolerance diplomacy, innovative anti-trafficking strategies, dismantling international criminal networks, and safeguarding democratic institutions with backup plans when elections fail.
