Y se entiende que así sea cuando, como ocurre en esta novela trepidante, tiene que enfrentarse al poderoso narcotráfico colombiano y a la inestabilidad política de Panamá. Ante tales retos, es lógico que sus agentes pongan en práctica arriesgadas operaciones clandestinas de las que penden los hilos secretos que mueven el mundo... Una historia de ficción situada a un paso de la realidad. A pretty decent novel about the conflict between the DEA & CIA in regards to the CIA's support for Manuel Noriega from his lowly beginning all the way to military dictator of Panama and his subsequent profiteering from cocaine trafficking through Panama from Colombia. Whilst it starts slowly it warms up to a good tale about the willingness of CIA agent Jack Lind to turn a blind eye to drug trafficking in Vietnam to slowly realising that such a willingness isn't always worth the cost. One could almost say it's an examination of the statement 'the end justifies the means'. Whilst the book is a fictionalised account of the CIA's involvement in drug trafficking, it nonetheless is quite close to the reality of their involvement in Panama and their support of Noriega and is worth a read. D’un côté la CIA, un monde au-dessus des lois, où la fin justifie tous les moyens. De l’autre, la DEA, » Drug Enforcement Agency « , le bureau chargé de la lutte antidrogue. Entre ces deux ennemis, le tristement célèbre Cartel de Medellin, association de narcotrafiquants impliquée dans des crimes en tout genre et dont la dernière invention, le » crack « , fait des ravages sur le marché américain. Ajoutez à ce cocktail sanglant le dictateur du Panama, homme de main de la CIA, Manuel Noriega, et vous aurez compris que vous tenez une véritable bombe entre les mains ! Trafic de drogue, trafic d’armes, élections truquées, argent blanchi, manipulations financières, complicités en haut lieu, opérations de désinformation. A travers la lutte qui oppose Jack Lind, officier de la CIA, et Kevin Grady, agent de la DEA, Larry Collins dévoile les sombres agissements des services secrets américains. Un magnifique roman d’espionnage. Un document explosif ! ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
DEA agent Kevin Grady discovers that the CIA is turning a blind eye to drug smuggling by its allies- and CIA officer Jack Lind is at the center of this conspiracy. Lind allows Panamanian policeman Manuel Noriega to become the country's dictator, ignoring his ties to the Medellin cocaine cartel in order to use Panama as a base for an anti-Communist crusade. Grady and Lind become enemies in a war they should have been fighting together, and beautiful Panamanian Juanita Boyd- Lind's lover- is caught in their struggle. From the glitter of Washington's power parlors to the dark heart of an international criminal organization, Black Eagles grips the listener with an irresistible tide of storytelling power.
