"TDY is a fantasic read. From Page 1 it took control of me, and dragged me back to that shadow world where wrong is right, and violent death lurks in every corner. Every page evoked memories of pain and terror, but I could not stop reading." Michael Levine, author of Deep Cover and The Big White Lie

The CIA as Organized Crime

"Doug Valentine was examining the dark underbelly of American foreign policy years before people recognized the 'Dark Side' of torture camps and secret wars." ROBERT PARRY, Consortium News

The Phoenix Program

"A very true book and a story well told, chilling in its accumulation." Los Angeles Times Book Review

The Strength of the Wolf: The Secret History of America's War on Drugs, Winner of the Choice Award for Excellence

"...highlighting the names and black deeds of an outlandish cast of wayward narcs, killer-spooks and globe-trotting godfathers (Wolf) is an expose of the never-ending lap-dance between organized crime and the national security establishment.." Jim Hougan, author of Spooks and Secret Agenda

The Strength of the Pack: The Personalities, Politics and Espionage Intrigues that Shaped the DEA

"The Strength of the Pack is an indespenable resource for those who wish to understand the politics of drug enforcement in America; and for those with any sense of the subject's real importance it is a gripping read as well." Peter Dale Scott

A Crow's Dream

"Great poetry is something that you can never tire of reading; some mysterious quality enters your eyes and ears; there's something that you never want to stop looking at, like if you had a Gaugin painting on the wall of your tenement room. Great poetry puts you in a trance, even when it describes complete horror, like in some of Neruda, you are dazzled by the beauty of the language. "A Crow's Dream" is great poetry-- any lover of language and its music just knows it when they see it." Joe Baletti

With Our Eyes Wide Open: Poems of the New American Century

"Doug Valentine has assembled an impressive collection of poets. Against the backdrop of our own time, they raise their voices in a collective act of rebellion. In doing so, they inspire us toward our own renewed efforts to secure peace and justice in a world more and more bereft of such virtues." Robert Bernard Hass, Edinboro University
