Smokescreen: A True Adventure

Rating:
Summary: Wild!
Review: This was an enjoyable book about the history of drug smuggling- specifically about how marijuana Columbian Gold made its way into the US in the 70s and 80s.
Makes a great companion read to go with a viewing of "BLOW".
I love stupid criminal stories- and this one is a doozy- the big pot smugglers are kind of clueless and play at being businessmen. The Americans eventually got bumped out of the business by the ruthless Columbians. The tales of the wild smuggling runs in the jungle- planes taking off from unmarked airfields etc is standard stuff but told well.
Good read for a cross country flight.
