Hi /lit/, what else would you recommend for my nonfiction collection?

Gary Webb's work about the CIA/contras operations, I think they're (mostly, not all) collected to "Dark Alliance" book.

I have never understood the fascination with Garry Webb. He simply repackaged the work Alfred W. McCoy, Bob Parry, and others did in the 1980s covering the Contra Cocaine connection
And I already have Politics of Heroin and Crimes of Patriots
Should get Parrys book

I'm Finnish so I didn't know about this. Thank you for giving me more reading about the subject!

And McCoy, Parry, John Qwitny, Leslie Cockburn, John fucking Kerry who headed his own investigation during the Iran Contra hearing and issued the Kerry Report which alleged the office of the Vice President asked the Mendalin Cartel for 10 million to fund the Contras, and all the others never suffered any repercussions or so called mysterious deaths

Crimes of Patriots is floating around the Internet in PDF form
The 1975 first edition of Politics of Heroin is online, but I would recommend getting the 1992 second edition or the third edition from the 2000s
Here is the PBS Frontline documentary Guns, Drugs, and the CIA produced by Leslie Cockburn: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpoahXzt-lM
And here is David Barsamian interviewing David MacMichael, a former CIA analysis who quit in the early 80s over the Central American dirty wars, and another bloke discussing that documentary, McCoys book, etc: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pF0sPgBxdJw

McCoys book is the bible for this subject.

Do you have Goodreads? I like this sort of stuff too, also from the point of view of politics and economics.

Wouldn't the trilateral commission be wall streets think tank?
It issued that report 'the crisis of democracy' which concluded that the crisis was there was too much democracy
That this needed to be stopped by compelling people with debt and lower pay and longer working hours
