The Secret Army: Chiang Kai-shek and the Drug Warlords of the Golden Triangle
How Chiang Kai-shek’s defeated Koumintang army secretly dominated the Asian drug trade
Based on recently declassified government documents, this book reveals the shocking true story of what happened after the Chinese Nationalists lost the revolution. Supported by Taiwan, the CIA, and the Thai government, the Koumintang reinvented itself as an anti-communist mercenary army fighting into the 1980s, before eventually becoming the drug lords who would make the Golden Triangle a household name.
