LA GRAN MENTIRA BLANCA, de Michael Levine y Laura Kavanau-Levine (Planeta)

Título:
La gran mentira blanca: de Bangkok a Buenos Aires, el fracaso de la guerra contra las drogas
Autores: Michael Levine (1939-); Laura Kavanau-Levine (colab.)
Título original: The big white lie. The CIA and the cocaine/crack epidemic (1993)
Traducción: Reed Roal
Cubierta: Mario Blanco (diseño)

Información sobre impresión:
Esta edición se terminó de imprimir en Indugraf S.A. Sánchez de Loria 2251, Buenos Aires en el mes de abril de 1996.
 
Información de contracubierta:
“La guerra contra las drogas es la más grande y mortífera mentira perpetrada por el gobierno norteamericano contra sus conciudadanos”, dice Michael Levine, autor de este libro apasionante.
Agente de la DEA con más de veinticinco años de servicio, Levine se infiltró y trabajó en forma encubierta siguiendo las diversas rutas de la droga, desde Bangkok hasta Buenos Aires. Dondequiera que viajó fue testigo presencial de las más escandalosas violaciones a las leyes antiestupefacientes por parte de funcionarios norteamericanos. La gran mentira blanca conduce al lector por ese tortuoso trayecto y exhibe la verdadera historia de la epidemia de la droga. Con una prosa ágil y sin eufemismos, reproduciendo diálogos textuales y situaciones insospechadas, Levine denuncia a la CIA por haber auspiciado grupos paramilitares bolivianos que asesinaron a funcionarios de la DEA en ese país, por proteger a traficantes y, especialmente, por haber creado “La Corporación”, una estructura ilegal tan enorme que ha sido bautizada “la General Motors de la cocaína”, para el tráfico y venta de drogas en el continente americano.
Levine espera que este libro sirva para abrir los ojos de los lectores ante las cuestionables acciones del gobierno estadounidense, que mientras exige la creación de nuevos impuestos para combatir las drogas, inunda el mundo con ellas.
 
Información de solapas:
Luego de abandonar la DEA tras veinticinco años de servicio, Michael Levine se desempeña como jefe del Escuadrón Antinarcóticos de Cape Cod. Además de La gran mentira blanca, ha publicado otros libros, entre ellos el best-seller Deep Cover. Vive junto con su mujer Laura Kavanau-Levine en Nueva York.
La prensa norteamericana ha dicho de él: “Levine es una figura fundamental en la historia de la DEA, por su estilo y por el éxito de sus operaciones” (Esquire); “Levine ha arriesgado su vida en incontables oportunidades y puesto tras las rejas a más de tres mil criminales del mundo de las drogas” (Los Angeles Times); “Los traficantes no son los únicos enemigos de Levine, como lo demuestra su libro: los burócratas del gobierno son más peligrosos y mortíferos aún” (The New York Times).

Professor Sir Laurence Martin (1928-2022)

Professor Sir Laurence Martin (1928-2022) News release NCapeling 3 May 2022

Professor Sir Laurence Martin, director of Chatham House from 1991-96, has died aged 93.

Professor Sir Laurence Martin, director of Chatham House from 1991-96.

Professor Sir Laurence Martin was one of the UK’s leading experts on international security with a particular interest in nuclear strategy.

Before joining Chatham House, he was Professor of War Studies at King’s College, London and Vice Chancellor of Newcastle University. He was also appointed Deputy Lieutenant of Tyne and Wear as well as holding several distinguished professorships.

His most well-known work was Two-Edged Sword: Armed Forces in the Modern World which was also the subject of the BBC’s Reith Lectures he gave in 1981.

Sir Laurence led Chatham House as the world was entering the post-Cold War era, a time when international relations were in a state of flux which, as he wrote in International Affairs, provided grounds for optimism that ‘the objective conditions exist to eliminate violent and mutually harmful conflict at least between the major powers’.

Professor Martin worked hard to ensure the financial sustainability of the institute following the loss of core funding from the UK government in the 1980s. By modernizing its approach to fundraising, he was able to invest in a much-needed refurbishment of the House, as well as the institute’s first foray onto the internet.

This enabled Chatham House to communicate with new audiences beyond its members, event attendees, and readers of printed reports, The World Today magazine, and International Affairs journal. He paid particular attention to the need for the institute to communicate its ideas to those making policy as well as wider audiences.

In addition to strengthening the institute’s research, he was keen to continue engaging its members in discussions to develop a well- informed understanding of international affairs.

On the 75th anniversary of Chatham House in 1995, he wrote that its role was ’providing the evidence and, above all, encouraging the habit of mind, to facilitate prudent, if possible optimistic, but never utopian judgements about world affairs’. Today’s staff would agree this role remains at the heart of delivering the institute’s mission.
