Gretchen Peters has covered Pakistan and Afghanistan for more than a decade, first for the Associated Press and later for ABC News. A Harvard graduate, Peters was nominated for an Emmy for her coverage of the 2007 assassination of Benazir Bhutto and won the SAJA Journalism Award for a "Nightline "segment on Pervez Musharraf. She lives in the United States with her husband, the Robert Capa Gold Medal-winning photojournalist John Moore, and their two daughters.
"A stunning, deeply disturbing book . . . A must-read for all
Western policymakers and President Obama before they implement any
new strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan."
- Ahmed Rashid, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Taliban"
and "Descent into Chaos
""A vitally important book. Until the United States admits what
Peters knows, and changes course, the virulent narco-terrorism
spreading across South Asia will cause us to lose not only
Afghanistan but Pakistan as well."
- Robert Baer, "New York Times "bestselling author of "Sleeping
with the Devil" and "The Devil We Know
""Peters has done a superlative job with "Seeds of Terror." It is a
primer for the new administration--a blueprint for what must be
done in Afghanistan to rescue victory from the jaws of defeat."
- Jack Lawn, DEA chief under Ronald Reagan and George H. W.
Bush
"The linkage between fighting drugs and fighting terrorism is, with
"Seeds of Terror," now firmly established. Gretchen Peters,
combining personal experience and in-depth research, paints a
frightening picture and tells us how to surmont the problem. A
critically important book."
- Raymond W. Baker, senior fellow at the Center for International
Policy and author of "Capitalism's Achilles Heel
""Detailed and highly readable . . . masterfully traces the
enormous success of the illegal heroin trade in Afghanistan."
- Frederick P. Hitz, former inspector general of the CIA and author
of "Why Spy?
""An important examination of 'the nexus of [drug] smugglers and
extremists' in the global war against terrorists. Peters builds a
solid case [and] has exhaustively framed one of the thorniest
problems facing policy makers in this long war."
- "Publishers Weekly
""Sure to be hotly discussed, this new book explores the often
labyrinthine connections between terrorism, the American
government, and the heroin trade. Clear and persuasive...Peters
shows how events that are happening today were set in motion by
what took place in Afghanistan in the 1980s and 1990s."
