"Now a major motion picture"--Cover. Summary:  "The story of the tragic death of Gary Webb, the controversial investigative journalist who committed suicide in December 2004. Webb is the former San Jose Mercury News reporter whose 1996 "Dark Alliance" series of articles on the so-called CIA-crack cocaine connection created a firestorm of controversy and led to his resignation from the paper amid escalating attacks on his work by the mainstream media. This book argues convincingly that Webb's editors betrayed him, despite mounting evidence that his stories were correct. An examination of the "Dark Alliance" controversy, what it says about the current state of journalism in America, and how it led Webb to ultimately take his own life. A probing examination of a media scandal and a gripping view of one of the greatest tragedies in the annals of investigative journalism"--Provided by publisher.
