EXPLOSIVE NATIONAL BEST SELLER. THE REAL STORY OF WHY WE'RE LOSING THE DRUG WAR TOLD BY A MAN WHOSE LIFE IS DEDICATED TO WINNING IT. Michael Levine, Former DEA group supervisor and international undercover agent. SUB-TITLE: The Inside Story of How DEA Infighting, Incompetence, and Subterfuge Lost Us the Biggest Battle of the Drug War. SYNOPSIS: AMERICA'S WAR ON DRUGS - THE TRAGIC, SHOCKING FIASCO. If there were a textbook on undercover work, Michael Levine would have to have written it. For twenty-five years he was an insider in the DEA - their top undercover cop. A man with a proven record of arrests - personally accounting for more than 3,000 criminals serving 15,000 years in jail. A man who now calls America's war on drugs "the biggest, costliest, most dangerous failure of American policy since Vietnam." IN THIS BOOK, HE PROVES IT. He takes us with him on one of the most dramatic, ambitious cases ever mounted - an operation in which the drug kingpins of three countries were caught red-handed . . . and tells us why they were never brought to justice. The result is the explosive expose of why we're losing the war on drugs - told in the words of an American who has devoted his life to winning it. AS SEEN ON Good Morning America, Donahue, Inside Edition, CBS This Morning, NBC Nightly News, CBS Evening News, The MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour. - and - WHO IS THE REAL ENEMY IN AMERICA'S "WAR ON DRUGS"? Michael Levine shows how: a petty drug dealer made over $300,000 as a paid informant for the U.S. Government; one U.S. agency sabotaged the efforts of another in order to "get credit" for results . . .; the DEA routinely puts agents in perilous situations designed to undermine their own efforts . . .; our government continues to spend millions on a failed operation . . .; our government refused to support an operation that could have implicated top South and Central American government officials . . . Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.…

Shopbeschreibung

For a good portion of the 1990's, our family was interested in the idea of entering the used book business. We are all avid readers, book lovers, and book collectors who cannot pass a bookstore without popping in. Family trips to the library and our local used bookstore were a regularity while growing up. With each of us having interests in different genres (with a little overlapping here and there), we cover a lot of bases. The thought of having a store of our own was appealing, and the hunt was on - both for stock and a location. We thought to combine under one roof many different things that would appeal to readers and book lovers. Not only used books, but some new items as well. Bookmarks (to ward off dog-eared pages), bookends (to keep those out-of-control collections under control), bookplates (to label books on the "Can I borrow that?" circuit to ensure that they always found their way home), book repair tape (to lend a helping hand to collectors with tattered favourites in their collections), and so on. With an interest in book-themed knick knacks as well, we had two sides to our would-be business: books and knick-knacks. Hence the business was born. In the early part of 1998 we bought a commercial property, and in the summer we first opened our doors in a storefront in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada. With start-up stock consisting of a garage full of books hand-picked for just such a venture that we purchased from someone who changed their plans, we were in business. For several years we operated in this storefront, growing our business and learning about the industry and the backbone of it - the customers. It was very satisfying to be present at the end of someone's book quest, as we were quite often. Many a time we heard shouts of joy from somewhere in the shop as customers happened upon just what they'd been looking for (oftentimes for quite a while). At other times, people would approach us with bits and pieces of information that they remembered from long ago favourites in hopes that we could at least help them come up with an author or title to help in their search, which we often times did, with the book in hand. And when we couldn't come up with anything on our own, we would pick the brains of other customers in conversation, or turn to the internet for help for them. For us, quality and selection of stock go hand-in-hand with customer service. One isn't much good without the other. But times, people, places, and lives change and after several years in our storefront we made a change of our own - in 2004 we relocated to the internet. Now a home-based business in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, we are gradually bringing our inventory online here. We carry used paperbacks, hardbacks, and magazines for both adults and children. We have thousands upon thousands of books that are not yet listed for sale on the internet, but are gradually making their way there.…
