Driven by Drugs: US Policy Toward Colombia

In the years since the first edition of "Driven by Drugs" was published, there have been dramatic changes in US policy toward Colombia, as well as in domestic Colombian politics. This new edition traces developments in both arenas, bringing the story current through the administrations of George W. Bush and Alvaro Uribe.This book offers a provocative analysis of the dynamics of US policy toward Colombia - a policy that since 1990 has been driven overwhelmingly by factors related to the "war on drugs" within the United States.
