Seeds of Terror by Gretchen Peters
Aims to reshape the way you think about the West's enemies, revealing them less as ideologues and more as criminals who earn half a billion pounds every year off the opium trade. This work traces their illicit activities from vast poppy fields in southern Afghanistan to heroin labs run by Taliban commanders.
"A stunning, deeply disturbing book.. A must-read for all Western policymakers." - Ahmed Rashid, bestselling author of 'Taliban' and 'Descent into Chaos' "Superlative ... It is a primer for the new administration - a blueprint for what must be done in Afghanistan to rescue victory from the jaws of defeat." - Jack Lawn, DEA chief under Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush "Important ... Peters builds a solid case [and] has exhaustively framed one of the thorniest problems facing policymakers in this long war." - Publishers Weekly "Sure to be hotly discussed." - Booklist
