Abstract
THE BULK OF INFORMATION IN THE BOOK WAS SECURED FROM THE ARCHIVES OF THE NARCOTICS SQUAD OF THE ROYAL CANADIAN MOUNTED POLICE, ALONG WITH TESTIMONY FROM POLICE OFFICERS WHO CONDUCTED THE INVESTIGATIONS. THE NAMES AND DRUG ACTIVITES OF TRAFFIKERS ARE DETAILED, WHILE THE COUNTERING OPERATIONS OF THE POLICE ARE INTERWOVEN IN NARRATIVES OF THE RISE AND FALL OF MAJOR DRUG OPERATIONS CENTERED PRIMARILY IN MONTREAL. IT SHOWS THE COLLABORATION, YEAR AFTER YEAR, BETWEEN THE FRENCH BUREAU OF NARCOTICS, THE AMERICAN DRUG ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, AND THE CANADIAN NARCOTICS SQUAD OF THE RCMP, AS THEY COMBAT THE INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF DRUGS, INVOLVING THE MIDDLE-EAST, FRANCE, CANADA, AND THE UNITED STATES....RCB
