For two decades, the Burmese warlord Khun Sa controlled nearly 70
percent of the world's heroin supply, yet there has been little written
about the legend the U.S. State Department branded the "most evil man in
the world"--until now. Through exhaustive investigative journalism, this
examination of one of the world's major drug lords from the 1970s to the
1990s goes behind the scenes into the lives of the DEA specialists
assigned the seemingly impossible task of capturing or killing him.
Known as Group 41, these men would fight for years in order to stop a
man who, in fact, had the CIA to thank for his rise to power. Featuring
interviews with DEA, CIA, Mafia, and Asian gang members, this
meticulously researched and well-documented investigation reaches far
beyond the expected and delves into the thrilling and shocking world of
the CIA-backed heroin trade.
