(More customer reviews)This is an interesting story by a G. Gordon Liddy / Oliver North type individual. A man who is on the government payroll, breaks the law, and considers himself some sort of "American hero". He claims to be on the front lines of the drug war, yet he admits to taking air dropped deliveries of cocaine in the U.S Southwestern desert. He says he resents the fact that good Americans are risking their lives to keep idiotic Americans from snorting cocaine. After a party with Pablo Escobar him and his team members fly to New Orleans to party for Mardi Gras. Our hero Bucchi is very drunk in a hotel room and he takes out a bag of cocaine - a little souvenier from the party with Pablo Escobar. He is about to take a snort to find out why some people like cocaine when one of his team members walks in the room and says, "Don't do it. You'll become just like them." Bucchi is just like them. His strategy to combat the cocaine trade is to help the drug lords smuggle cocaine via Panama into the U.S. After the drug lords become rich with the help of the U.S. government, they will retire from the business and the cocaine trade will just disappear. It sounds ridiculous to the reader but Bucchi expresses very little doubt about what he is doing. After Iran Contra, CIA Director William Casey cancels Operation Pseedo Miranda, Bucchi enters the Air Force, talks about some of his drug smuggling adventures, and is judged to be mentally incompetent (insane) by the Air Force. That is certainly an affront to his ego and we get this book.
