"Like the best of thrillers, this is a tale of betrayal and murder, of drug-smuggling and arms-dealing, of a powerful international crime syndicate and the key players who help unload millions of tons of cocaine on the American market and live large on the profits. And it is the story of three dedicated men who risked their careers and reputations to bring to justice one of the infamous Medellin Cartel's highest-ranking allies.
Yet this book differs from other crime stories and political thrillers in one important way: it's 100 percent true.".
"When, in 1989, twenty thousand American soldiers invaded Panama, arrested its highest military officer, 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 American law - violations committed in that ruler's own country. How this remarkable chain of events came to pass is one of the wilder and - until now - least-known stories in modern American history.
In this gripping book, David Harris brings us the behind-the-scenes account of what really happened, and why nothing like it may ever happen again."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Details
First Sentence
"One of a kind, this story begins at its end, in the here and now of Miami, where the afternoon rain sizzles off the pavement and cruise ships dock for weekends on Biscayne Bay, flags limp, smothered in warmth on all but the very worst of days, the air heavy with the breath of swamps long since paved over;"
