Mothergamer (1514 KP) rated Giri/Haji in TV
Jan 24, 2022
This show is excellent. The story about two brothers who are on different sides is interesting because you see how much they care about each other, but the conflicts make things difficult. The settings between Japan and London are beautifully done. The cast is great especially Will Sharpe as Rodney who steals the show with every scene he's in. It's a shame the show only got one season because it is fantastic with the story, music, and characters melding together perfectly. Giri/Haji is definitely worth checking out.
Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated The Dark Art: My Undercover Life in Global Narco-Terrorism in Books
Mar 2, 2018
Fascinating look at the empire of drug-related terrorism
An absolutely astounding look at undercover operations in the fight against narco-terrorism.
Edward Follis, a veteran undercover DEA agent, writes about his biggest drug busts in which major heroin, ecstasy and cocaine kingpins from across the globe, are apprehended using covert and exhaustive methods.
From learning Thai in order to intercede Khun Sa's major heroin drug routes, to befriending Afghan opium billionaire Taliban financier, Haji Juma Khan, Follis has had a long and fascinating career.
And at times, the bragging may feel over the top, however, it is completely understandable given what he has endured and some of the traumatic experiences included one of his own informants being brutally murdered. Obviously it is written with an American bias, so it's worth keeping that in mind.
