U.S. Customs agents worked heroically to stamp out drug smugglers during the 1970s and Andrew Tully, columnist and journalist, was on hand to write it all down.  Taken from the closed files of the U.S. Customs Bureau, these good guys and bad guys stories are full of car chases, gun battles, and persistent and savvy agents who lassoed the criminals in the end. Tully's stories were collected when Nixon's drug war model was written into the stone of U.S. politics and practice ― a model that focuses on enforcement of prohibition laws at home and interdiction of supply abroad. As we know, despite the war,  after years of battling against narcotics, the levels of addiction, trafficking and violence continue to rise. But at the time, Tully himself fully supported this policy and believed that if the good guys were tough enough and the bad guys lured out of the shadows and punished enough, that the world would be saved from, in his words, “the Merchants of Death”.  

The Secret War Against Dope, though not so secret today, is a historically important account written by an award winning journalist of his day.
