I just started this book last night. It is fun to read which is why I am already recommending it. I read many books for the education in spite of not enjoying the book in the slightest. It is awesome to read an educational book that is also enjoyable.

Barry was a CIA agent who became the nations largest drug runner. While working for the CIA. He decided to go public and was quickly found with two things:
