"I read it during a period when life in Swat was very hard. I distracted myself from the fear and terrorism by thinking about things like how the universe began and whether time travel is possible. I enjoy science, and I’m a very curious person. I always want to know the reason behind everything, big or small."

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.
