A network of drug trafficking, violence, and cover-up at one of the largest U.S. military bases
In his shocking new book, The Fort Bragg Cartel, investigative journalist Seth Harp uncovers stunning revelations about the special operations forces at Fort Bragg.
He details how America’s increasing reliance on largely unaccountable elite forces during our decades-long Global War on Terror has given rise to a web of narcotics smuggling, unsolved murders, and corruption.
Harp’s investigation has received mass media attention from across the political spectrum with media appearances ranging from Democracy Now! to The Tucker Carlson Show. An HBO adaptation of the book is in the works.
The Quincy Institute was delighted to host Harp in-person, diving deep into the book’s shocking allegations and their implications for U.S. military and foreign policy. Kelley Beaucar Vlahos, senior advisor at the Quincy Institute and editorial director of Responsible Statecraft, spoke with the author.
