- Synopsis
- This book lifts the lid on the reality of Afghanistan’s growing drug trade and the role played by the US military in its trajectory. *BR**BR*Where conventional accounts blame the Taliban for the expansion of drug production, Cruel Harvest shows that the US shares responsibility by supporting drug lords, refusing to adopt effective drug control policies and failing to crack down on drug money laundered through Western banks. *BR**BR*Julien Mercille argues that the best way to address drug problems is by reducing demand in consumer countries, not by conducting fruitless and damaging counter narcotics missions in Afghanistan.*BR*
