This investigation examines how behind-the-scenes collaboration between governments, intelligence services and drug traffickers has lined the pockets of big business and Western banks. Beginning with a last-minute request from ex-governor Jesse Ventura, the narrative winds between the author's own story of covering ""deep politics"" and the facts he has uncovered. The ongoing campaign against Victor Bout, the ""Merchant of Death,"" is revealed as ""move/countermove"" in a game of geopolitics, set against the background of a crumbling Soviet Union, a nascent Russia, bizarre assassinations, wars and smuggling.
