This one is going to hit the stands January 30th, 2024. Anyone who outwits the CIA is worth discussing on this forum, for sure.

From Goodreads

The untold story of an indigenous people running the world’s mightiest narco-state — and America’s struggle to thwart them.

In Asia’s narcotics-producing heartland, the Wa reign supreme. They dominate the Golden Triangle, a mountainous stretch of Burma between Thailand and China. Their 30,000-strong army, wielding missiles and attack drones, makes Mexican cartels look like street gangs.

Looks interesting. I like books that trace drug supply routes, that also feature the real lives of people st each end of the line: the farmers, chemists, manufacturers, and then way down the line, the dealers, users and people affected by the junkies in their life. Always very eye opening and sobering (pun not intended). Thanks for the heads up!
