Dangerous Times: The Americas Under the Shadows of Terror is a powerful and unsettling geopolitical testimony from Johan Obdola-counter-narcotics officer, intelligence expert, and global security strategist. This groundbreaking book exposes the rise of narco-terrorism, the collapse of democratic institutions, and the betrayal of entire nations by their own political elites. From the inner corridors of power in Venezuela to the transnational criminal networks operating across Latin America, the United States, and beyond, Obdola reveals the hidden war that is reshaping our hemisphere. Through a rare combination of first-hand experience, strategic intelligence, and moral clarity, Dangerous Times offers a disturbing portrait of corruption, violence, and complicity-challenging the silence of international institutions and calling for a new doctrine of truth and justice. This Reviewed Edition includes updated material, definitions of key geopolitical concepts, and a concluding reflection on institutional failure and civic resistance. A must-read for policymakers, security professionals, journalists, and all those concerned with the future of the Americas and the global democratic order
