DEA. CIA. ~ David McClintick roiled Hollywood and Wall Street with his stunning account of high~placed chicanery and cover~up that made Indecent Exposure a smashing international bestseller. Now, after a decade of investigative reporting, he brings us another explosive inside story~a story of clashing wills and multiple betrayals that threatened to destroy one of the United States government's most ambitious undercover operations. Operation Swordfish was launched secretly in 1981 after the federal government, desperate to stop the narcotics epidemic, devised a fundamental change in strategy. Leaving street~level drug policing to local authorities, the Department of Justice and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration decided to attack the drug barons themselves along their most vital arteries: a serpentine network of banks and corporations through which they manipulated their vast profits. To lure the money, the DEA created a bogus international investment firm in Miami. But to cultivate the trust of the Colombian drug mafia, the agency needed an unusual spy. How Robert Darias, a Cuban emigre and CIA~trained Bay of Pigs officer, led the DEA to the heart of the mafia's tangled and violent network, and how the DEA ultimately "rewarded" him, is a story of deception and betrayal on many levels. Critical to the operation was Darias's triangular relationship with two singular women: Carol Cooper, a DEA special agent from a small town in Illinois, whose skill at running spies was matched by her talent for bureaucratic infighting; and Marlene Navarro, Paris~educated and multilingual, the alluring North American chief executive of the Colombian drug mafia's enormous financial and distribution syndicate. As Darias nurtures Navarro's trust and grasps the intricacies of her huge criminal enterprise, Operation Swordfish seems headed for spectacular success that will make the careers of the DEA agents in charge. But when a vicious battle for control erupts among the agents, Darias takes an extraordinary measure to protect himself, a recourse that reveals a web of secrets~secrets of ambition, rivalry, and treachery within the government's own ranks. Overshadowing the internal strife in Miami is the dark savagery of the drug mafia's native Colombia, which entangles Operation Swordfish's deepening penetration of Navarro's network. Swordfish is a spellbinding story of people under life~threatening pressure, people pursuing ambitions both grand and petty in ways that reveal not only the characters of the individuals but also the nature of the institutions that have shaped them.…

Foucault writes: "What was my aim in writing this book? Did I wish to explain what I had wanted to do in my earlier BOOKS, in which so many things still remained obscure? Not altogether, not exactly. By going a little farther in the same direction, and coming back, as if by a new turn in the spiral, towards the point at which I had set out, I hoped to show the position from which I was speaking; to map the space that makes these investigations, and others that I may never accomplish, possible: in short, to give meaning to the word archaeology, which I had so far left empty. It IS a dangerous word, for it seems to imply traces that have fallen outside time and are now frozen into silence. In fact, it is an attempt to describe discourses. Not books (in relation to their authors), not theories (with their structures and coherence), but those familiar yet enigmatic groups of statements that are known as medicine, political economy, and biology. I would like to show that these unities form a number of autonomous, but not independent, domains, governed by rules, but in perpetual transformation, anonymous and without a subject, but imbuing a great many individual works. And where the history of ideas tried to uncover by deciphering texts, the secret movements of thought (its slow progression, its conflicts and retreats, the obstacles that it has overcome), I would like to reveal in its specificity, the level of 'things said': the condition of their emergence, the forms of their accumulation and connexion, the rules of their transformation, the discontinuities that articulate them. The domain of things said is what is called the archive; the role of archaeology is to analyse that archive." ~Also in this volume is Professor Foucault's inaugural address at the College de France upon his assuming the chair of Professor of History and Systems of Thought.…

SIGNED with a dated inscription by author on front flyleaf. viii+501p. glossy b&w photo illustrations. appendix. index. biography. autobiography. memoirs. american history. politics. vietnam war. anti~war movement. ~ The son of a well~to~do Boston lawyer, David Dellinger seemed cut Out for a distinguished career in law or government. But rejecting his comfortable background, he walked out of Yale one afternoon during the Great Depression, in his oldest clothes and without any money, to ride the freight trains, sleep at missions, and stand in breadlines. It was while sharing a warming fire on a street corner in a hobo jungle that he first knew that in his own way he would follow the path of Francis of Assisi. Dellinger lived among the poor in Newark, was bloodied in the freedom marches through the South, and led countless hunger strikes in jail. In the "hole" in Danbury prison he faced his own death, to be reborn with courage that would never desert him. Always, he reached out to his antagonist to find a common ground. Dellinger introduced Gandhi's principles of nonviolence to the political street struggles against the Vietnam War, holding together the broad~based antiwar coalition he forged by the sheer force of his personality. In 1968 he held the world spellbound with his cry "the whole world is watching," referring to the media coverage of the Chicago police riot. His life of service to social change had its crowning moment before Judge Julius Hoffman during the Chicago Eight trial, where Dellinger and his co~defendants turned the tables on their accusers to put the government on trial. His recollections of those years shed new light on many of the most crucial events of the 1960s, bringing to life again the drama of those turbulent years. His inside account of what happened in the sixties, and of the people who shaped that decade~Martin Luther King, Jr., Abbie Hoffman, Bayard Rustin, A. J. Musre, Dorothy Day, Jerry Rubin, Joan Baez, and many more~is an indispensable chapter in the story of our time. Above all, From Yale to Jail is a stirring account of an extraordinary spiritual journey, as moving as it is inspiring.…
