Description
This is a tale of a powerful international crime syndicate and the key players who help unload millions of tons of cocaine on the Amer. market. And it is the story of 3 men who brought to justice one of the infamous Medellin Cartel's highest-ranking allies. Yet this book is 100% true. It started in 1985, when Gen. Manuel Noriega, the Panama strongman, was one of hundreds of potential suspects identified by DEA forces in the War on Drugs. When, in 1989, 20,000 Amer. soldiers invaded Panama and hauled him back to Miami to stand trial, it was the first time in our history that the U.S. had dared to capture and try another nation's leader for violations of Amer. law. This gripping book tells us the what really happened. Noriega now sits in a federal prison cell.
