Having spent three years in the armed forces in the late 70s,I can fully appreciate the amount of time & research that must have been given,too fully paint what surely must be a fair account of the narcotics trade on a global scale.The author has clearly put immense time & effort in trying too convey a realistic & gritty portrayal of what is supposed to be a true story of events which actually happened.The attention to detail that goes into the story,clearly conveys what a sorry state of affairs the drug detection agencies have too work under immense pressure,in bringing forward any possible prosecution.My review was written too try & encourage people too read what is a truly harrowing story.
