Description Dark Alliance by Gary Webb - (epub) - [HeadbangersFC] Dark Alliance: The CIA, the Contras, and the Crack Cocaine Explosion is a 1998 book by journalist Gary Webb based on a series of articles written in 1996 for the San Jose Mercury News. The book documents that, in order to help raise funds for efforts against the Nicaraguan Sandinista Government, the CIA supported cocaine trafficking into the US by top members of Nicaraguan Contra Rebel organizations and allowed the subsequent crack epidemic to spread in Los Angeles. The book also recounts the media’s reaction and initial dismissal of Webb's original newspaper expose. Webb supports his thesis with the testimony of Contra leaders Oscar Danilo Blandon and Juan Norwin Meneses, as well as documents acquired through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). He also took much from the earlier reporting on the Iran-Contra scandal by Robert Parry, whose footsteps he followed in his investigation for the piece. The book contains 476 references, extensively laying out the trail of proof for his claims. Dark Alliance was published by Seven Stories Press in hardcover in 1998 and in an updated revised edition in 1999. It contains an introduction authored by U.S. Representative Maxine Waters. The book serves as part of the basis for the 2006 book Kill the Messenger by Nick Schou, along with the book's 2014 film adaptation by the same title starring Jeremy Renner as Gary Webb. In 1999 the book won a Pen/Oakland Censorship Award as well as a Firecracker Alternative Bookseller Award in the Politics category. PLEASE SEED AND SHARE. THANK YOU.
