Dr. Vanessa Neumann: Blood Profits, Terrorism, International Drug Trafficking

Dr. Vanessa Neumann
Allan Wolper for WBGO

Dr. Vanessa Neumann has won an international reputation for tracking the movement of terrorists and drug dealers, from Colombia to Southeast Asia. In December, St. Martin’s Press will publish her new investigative book, titled, “Blood Profits: How American Consumers Unwittingly Fund Terrorists.”

Born in the cauldron of Venezuela, South America, she has roamed the world seeking information and sources for the US State Department, the Pentagon, the United Nations, Interpol and numerous Fortune 500 companies.

“I always had a concern about right and wrong and the relationship between government and individuals,” she said in a Dec. 2014 interview with Conversations with Allan Wolper.
