Jackpot - High Times, High Seas, and the Sting That Launched the War on Drugs

Informationen zum Autor Jason Ryan is a South Carolina journalist and former staff reporter for the State newspaper. Klappentext Author Jason Ryan takes us back to the heady days before drug smuggling was synonymous with deadly gunplay. During this golden age of marijuana trafficking, the country's most prominent kingpins were a group of wayward and fun-loving Southern gentlemen who forsook college educations to sail drug-laden luxury sailboats across the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and the Caribbean. Zusammenfassung Operation Jackpot was the drug investigation that ended the 1980's reign of South Carolina's "gentlemen smugglers"; this book profiles some of the individuals involved in the "golden age" of marijuana trafficking.
