audreyintheheadphones's review against another edition
2.0
If I were writing a story that involved cocaine smuggling in the 1970s, this book would be the perfect textbook: it's that detailed. How to design a smuggling operation, how to scale and implement it, how to weigh, evaluate, cut and resell cocaine, it is all covered in this book.
But the details don't stop there. No! You'll also learn about the best places to stay in Cartagena and Bogota, why no one goes to St Marta, and you'll meet a supporting cast of hundreds. Well, perhaps not hundreds, but with the inclusion of a brief background on every single person mentioned in Zachary Snow's long and storied smuggling career, it sure felt that way.
You'll meet Vinnie and Vincent, Angel, Roberto and Rudolpho, Uta, Nice Mickey, Mean Mickey, Crazy Leslie, Alice, Trudy, Elaine, Susan, two girls who do mushrooms bottomless, Rainy Day, Canadian Jack, Black Dan, See Gull Billy, Billy Bad Breaks, Armando, Moses, Ike, Freddy, Ellery, Charles and Lillian, Angela, Anthony and a couple people who either just had walk-on parts or were listed simply as a friend of one of the above. It was exhausting.
Informative, but ultimately exhausting.
