Book Synopsis
A provocative, interdisciplinary examination of Colombia’s devastating drug trade, with data-driven recommendations for other countries facing violent insurgencies.

Trade Review
"The use of an interdisciplinary approach, including geography, history, economics, and politics, gives this book a flavor that is distinct from others in the field... The data on economics and the impacts of drug production and drug trafficking are innovative and difficult to find elsewhere... A valuable resource." William L. Furlong, Professor of Political Science, Utah State University
