The French Connection: A True Account of Cops, Narcotics, and International Conspiracy

Rating:
Summary: Fascinating
Review: Well, I read this book at the age of 15, when it was first published in 1969. I loved it. Tho frankly I'd have to read it again to do any kind of real review.

So I'm going to copy an outside blurp.

"As a result of his second tour in Vietnam Robin Moore became concerned about the wide spread use among soldiers of narcotics, particularly opium and its derivative, heroin. He contacted friends in the New York Police Department and discovered what he would later call 'The French Connection Case', a French syndicate smuggling heroin into New York. In 1969 his nonfiction account of the case, The French Connection, was published and in 1973 the movie won 5 Academy Awards."

Hope that helps
