Where Crime and Governments Embrace

The Underground Empire

World War II saw the appearance of numerous revolutionary armaments on both sides of the conflict that would radically change the nature of warfare, from jet aircraft to the ballistic missile and the atomic bomb. The greatest conflagration in history also saw the conception of the first surface-to-air guided missile systems, technology pioneered by German scientists and engineers through an extensive development program which ran from 1942 to 1945. Although the program did not achieve its main objective – to introduce a functional weapon system into the Luftwaffe air defense network – German research and development in most aspects of the technology was ahead of comparable research in the United Kingdom and the United States. The history of the transfer of German SAM technology to the Allies after 1945 has previously been overshadowed by the well-published transfers of the V-1 and V-2 guided missiles. This book presents the first complete history of Germany’s wartime development of surface-to-air missile (SAM) technology, how the Allies acquired this secret research towards the end of World War II in Europe and in the early postwar period, and how they then exploited this knowledge.

It addresses new areas of research, including the impact of imperial drugs profits on American history, or the place of African states in the development of international regulations. The outcome is to provoke new perspectives on both drugs and empires.

"One hell of a good suspense story . . . Mills's book is a spellbinder, ironic in its implications, explosively dramatic in its narrative." — The New York Times The youngest detective on the New York City police force, Bo Lockley is eager to prove himself. Ordered to track down "the Stick," a high-rolling pimp, Bo finds himself at the center of a Times Square shootout. Worse yet, he's quickly arrested and charged with murder, becoming the scapegoat of a department all too ready to sacrifice a naïve rookie in order to conceal its own corruption. The ensuing scandal leads to an investigation by the Internal Affairs Division that forms the basis of Report to the Commissioner. So authentic that it reads like a real-life crime investigation, this suspenseful novel recaptures the gritty atmosphere of 1970s New York in its examination of exploited idealism and self-serving ambition. Written by the author of The Panic in Needle Park, this hard-hitting bestseller inspired an acclaimed 1975 movie.
