The World's Most Notorious Arms Dealer

In his new book The Merchant of Death, co-author and journalist Douglas Farah tells the incredible story of Viktor Bout, the Russian weapons supplier whose global network has changed the way modern warfare is fought. Bout's vast enterprise of guns, planes, and money has fueled internecine slaughter in Africa and aided both militant Islamic fanatics in Afghanistan and the American military in Iraq. Farah joins Larry to talk about the international arms trade and the dealers that provide hardware for the world's military conflicts.
