Read it:

Bolivia grows the leaf, refines more of it each year and sits where southern cocaine routes begin. From a scientist shot at a laboratory on the Huanchaca plateau in 1986 to an attorney general detained in 2026 on charges he denies, this is the story of a state whose anti-drug chiefs kept ending up in foreign courtrooms, of foreign traffickers who found Santa Cruz a safe house with real Bolivian papers, and of public money and gold that vanished. Covers Roberto Suárez Gómez and the 1980 regime of Luis García Meza and Luis Arce Gómez; René Sanabria and Maximiliano Dávila of the FELCN anti-drug police; Sebastián Marset and Roger Mariaca; Luis Arce Catacora and the Indigenous Fund; Santos Ramírez and YPFB; Arturo Murillo and Bravo Tactical Solutions; and Banco Fassil.
