Hardback. Zustand: Good. Drawing on declassified documents and extensive firsthand research, The Politics of Cocaine takes a hard look at the role the United States played in creating the drug industry that thrives in Central and South America. Author William L. Marcy contends that by conflating anti-Communist and counternarcotics policies, the United States helped establish and strengthen the drug trade as the area's economic base. Increased militarization, destabilization of governments, uncontrollable drug trafficking, more violence, and higher death tolls resulted. Marcy explores how the counternarcotics policies of the 1970s collapsed during the 1980s when economic calamity, Andean guerrilla insurgencies, and Reagan's anti-Communist struggle with Nicaragua and Cuba became conflated as part of the War on Drugs. The book then explores how the U.S. invasion of Panama and narcotics related violence throughout Andean region during the 1990s led to the militarization of the War on Drugs as a way to confront narcotics production, narco-traffickers, and narco-guerrillas alike. Marcy brings to the reader up to the end of the George W. Bush administration and explains why to this date the United States remains unable to control the flow of cocaine into the United States and why the War on Drugs appears to be spiraling out of control. The Politics of Cocaine fills in historical gaps and provides a new and controversial analysis of a complex and seemingly unsolvable problem.…

Pamphlet. Zustand: Good. No publisher, place or date. Presumed Washington DC, 1848. Pamphlet, disbound from a larger work. 4 pp. A short piece communicating Secretary of War William L. Marcy's comments on the actions of Winfield Scott in Mexico, in regard to levying taxes and using resources captured in Mexico to fund the US occupation of Mexico during the Mexican-American War. Included are General Orders issued by Scott, regarding levies and taxes, with another piece by Scott estimating the amount of troops needed to occupy the capital of Mexico, as well as sustain the occupation, support eventual US withdrawal, and fortify the US border. General Winfield Scott was one of the United States' most decorated generals, with his unexpected success in Mexico during the Mexican-American War earning him praise from the Duke of Wellington, among others. Scott and President James Polk feuded behind the scenes, perhaps due to Polk's not wanting to promote a potential presidential rival. GOOD condition. Minor spotting, scattered faint staining and some soiling present. Minor wrinkling. General toning.…
