The Great Pretense: A Tour Through the Boneyards of the CIA's War for Drugs offers readers a journey to the boneyards of the CIA's war for drugs in Latin America and beyond, with all of its complexities and moral dilemmas. Conroy's book, part memoir and part exposé and thriller, is based on Conroy's lived experience over decades of reporting on national security and the illegal drug trade.
