Cocaine is big business and getting bigger. Governments spendmillions on a losing war against it, yet it's still the drug of choicein the West. How did the cocaine economy become so massive?Who keeps it running behind the scenes?

In Cocaine Nation, Tom Feiling travels the trade routes from Colombia via Miami, Kingston and Tijuana to London and Newyork. he meets Medellin hitmen, U.S. kingpins, Brazilian traffickers, and talks to soldiers and narcotics officers who fight the gangsand cartels. He traces cocaine's progress from legal 'pick-me-up'to luxury product to global commodity, looks at legalization programs in countries such as Switzerland, and shows how America'santi-drugs crusade is actually increasing demand. Cutting throughthe myths about the white trade, this is the story of cocaine as it'snever been told before.
