Summary: One of the best researched organized crime books on drugs.
Comment: Despite this books daunting 1000 pages plus, I could not put this well researched tome down. It covers DEA investigations of an Asian Triad/informant, an American pot smuggler, and a Mexican ganster/sadist. It blows the lid off the DEA's sad war on drugs and how nothing is ever really done and how one hand can never trust the other. Those who still believe in the value of the DEA are either naive and deluded or cognizant of how it profits American's in power both financially and by keeping the races of color emasculated by a system that is designed to enslave. His next book should be about illegal drugs and their link to the ghetto, money laundering, and the privatization of the American prison system. There has been a 5% growth each year for the last ten in the American prison population and now Mayor (sic) Giuliani wants close the methadone programs down in New York City. We should socialize medicine before we even consider a bonehead move like this. Shame on you.

Summary: Government Crime Pays Very Very Well
Comment:

There are two kinds of government crime against the taxpayer, and both are wide-spread and costly to the taxpayer. There is corporate corruption, the buying of politicians, such that decisions are made that in effect transfer the taxes paid by individuals (who carry every government's costs) to unethical corporations focused on profit at any cost (to others). This book documents the second kind of crime: where government agencies charged with protecting the taxpayer from drugs or crime or terrorists or other threats, themselves become allies with criminals, and seek to profit from crime while permitting field officers to go bad, steal money, and become nothing more than officially sanctioned criminals. If and when each Nations cleans house within its "secret world," the ethics of intelligence, and how to police the police, will be among the most fearsome challenges to be addressed.

This extraordinary book, at 1165 pages (1974 edition) is a deeply documented, thoughtful, credible account of the second kind of corruption. It is strongly recommended for purchase by anyone who pays taxes.

Summary: The most intellectual and realistic book on illegal drugs
Comment: Wow, this book should be required reading for an educated adult, this could be used as a university text. This book is hard hitting, realistic and well written about the illegal trade and alliances between Narco-trafficers and governments, whether willing or not. This book exposes the facades and uncovers startling and incredible truths about the impact of illegal drugs on America that the mainstream media just glosses over. I wish this book was still in print. There needs to be more investigative reporting like this to resurrect journalism.
