Welcome Douglas Valentine to DPF! Author of definitive books on Op Phoenix, FBN and DEA.

[Nathaniel Heidenheimer]

I want to welcome Douglas Valentine to the DPF. Valentine is the author of excellent books on the Phoenix Program, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics-- and its deep political relations with the CIA, as well as a new book on the the DEA. He is generally very well informed on many different aspects of intelligence history. I am sure he will prove a valuable addition to DPF.

I'm eager to read all of them, and especially eager to read The Phoenix Program. Just seems relevant.

Welcome to DPF Douglas.

Douglas, et al,

Nate will begin a new thread in our "Books" section. The goal will be to create and maintain a dialogue among the author and our worthy correspondents.

Your active participation in our work, sir, is most welcome.

Best,

CD

Ooooh, welcome indeed. (Someone is going to get a large gold star on their progress report.)
