Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1990, I faced the biggest challenge of my law-enforcement career when I was recruited for an undercover drug assignment here in East Texas. At this point, there had never been a black undercover narcotic officer in the history of East Texas law enforcement. The top law enforcement officials of East Texas had no idea how bad the drug problem was, and now after all this time, they wanted to know the truth. The white and black kids were becoming completely uncontrollable all over East Texas because of the drug usage. I would later infiltrate so deep into the East Texas drug and criminal world that I gave up hope on coming out alive. I inadvertently would find out additional information about a famous Texas and national murder case called "The Kentucky Fried Chicken Murders" which had occurred in 1984 that was drug-related and involved some very high-profile people. The deception that I had to pull off involving so many people would go on to follow me the rest of my career. My only way out was my deep religious belief in Jesus Christ.

Whoever finds it will become one of the richest criminals in the country—assuming he lives to collect his first payment. Refereeing the melee is John Bolt, a narcotics agent with a hair trigger and a moral compass that’s pointing him right at the heart of this war. Finding the list could mean the biggest bust of his career, and he doesn’t mind killing to get his hands on it. /div

Book Synopsis A Narc's Tale by : Keith P Grounsell
Download or read book A Narc's Tale written by Keith P Grounsell and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Narc's Tale is a 4 book series that is a first-hand account of stories, written like a memoir or personal diary, which gives you an inside glimpse of what it is like working 6 years deep undercover in the dangerous drug world as a city cop (Vol. 1), county vice & narcotics investigator (Vol. 2 & 3), and Special Agent with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (Vol. 4). Most undercover books only show this from one perspective, but you will get all three here (i.e. city, county & federal) and realize the difference in each. This book series will tell you about incidents that almost cost me my career in law enforcement before it began, what led me to focus in drug enforcement and how I blended in and dealt with dangerous and, often, violent criminals in an array of different environments working undercover. You will also learn about the emotional and mental effects of long-term undercover work on me and my family, as well as learn about the dangerous effects of drugs. I will show you how an undercover agent avoids using drugs, literally being shoved in their face, escaping having guns pointed at them, posing as a hit man, infiltrating gangs, acting like a drug addict, avoiding plots to be killed, all while protecting loved ones, and dealing with some of the most dangerous drug cartels in the world. Not only does this book series expose secrets of the rare undercover world, but it provides an inside look at the ruthlessness of drug traffickers along with an array of other crimes that I unexpectedly got involved with during my investigations (i.e. human trafficking, sex slaves, murder for hire, corrupt officials/politicians, killing witnesses, etc.). The extensive efforts taken to authenticate and corroborate these real-life stories, through supporting documentation found in each book (i.e. over 340 still images from covert body cameras & surveillance platforms, other photographs, scanned documents and newspaper articles within the series), is what separates this series of books from others in the genre. After explaining my upbringing and life-changing experiences that made me want to become a cop, which is covered in Volume 1; I am thrust into a full-time undercover assignment unexpectedly as a city cop with zero undercover training. You will read how I learned about drugs, dealers, and undercover work by trial and error. After a year undercover and successfully taking out over one-hundred-thirty drug dealers, I was recruited to go work for a large Sheriff's Office in the Vice & Narcotics Unit. Once in this unit, which is the start of Volume 2 in this series, I learn so much more and have a much larger jurisdiction in which to work. I finally get the proper training and my cases began to grow over the course of the next two books, Volumes 2 & 3, to the point of making multi-kilogram purchases of drugs, posing as a hit man in a murder for hire, buying automatic weapons, etc. I start doing undercover work for the state and feds in books 2 and 3 and run into police corruption issues. This is around the time I get married and started a family, all while being neck-deep in undercover work and the accompanying stresses. You will learn the mental effects this line of work takes on a spouse and how we overcame those things. After 4 years into my undercover career, I was hired on with the feds as a Special Agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Volume 4 covers my experiences of going through the federal hiring and training processes before I launch my undercover experience at the federal level. With the feds I worked undercover on an unprecedented scale dealing with multi-billion-dollar international drug cartels. The violence, death, and unsurmountable quantities of drugs and money were nothing like I had seen as a local police officer. The investigations and organizations got much more complex, so I had to tighten up my undercover skills and technology usage to become more innovative (i.e. federal wiretaps).

Book excerpt: This is what I want, she thought. This night with you. This impossible dream. “It’s just that we’re not supposed to be . . .” “Doing this? Because a psychopath warned us not to?” Yes, Lucas realized. That was her worry. Her fear. The killer. Not him. His entire being filled with relief. “This is about us, Galen. You and me. No one else. Nothing else. Just us. Okay?” “Okay.” “And Galen, if you tell me to stop, I will stop. No matter when.” “I won’t tell you to stop.” Not ever. He chases killers . . . Homicide lieutenant Lucas Hunter has a sixth sense for evil and a fierce and relentless passion for putting criminals behind bars. Now his quarry is the cunning madman known as "The Lady Killer", the monster whose victims are glamorous, beautiful women who were at one time close to the sexy lieutenant himself. She chases dreams . . . Galen Chandler's career is on the edge—again. Indeed, the disastrous and soon to be ex-anchorwoman is on the verge of leaving Manhattan when the madman calls her, to use her to lure Lucas Hunter out to play. Theirs is an unlikely alliance, the icy-eyed hunter and the woman on the run. And it’s an even unlikelier love. But in the midst of the dangerous game of life and death, they discover something fragile and precious—and precarious—that feels very much like home.

Download or read book Black Klansman written by Ron Stallworth and published by Flatiron Books. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times Bestseller! The extraordinary true story and basis for the Academy Award winning film BlacKkKlansman, written and directed by Spike Lee, produced by Jordan Peele, and starring John David Washington and Adam Driver. When detective Ron Stallworth, the first black detective in the history of the Colorado Springs Police Department, comes across a classified ad in the local paper asking for all those interested in joining the Ku Klux Klan to contact a P.O. box, Detective Stallworth does his job and responds with interest, using his real name while posing as a white man. He figures he’ll receive a few brochures in the mail, maybe even a magazine, and learn more about a growing terrorist threat in his community. A few weeks later the office phone rings, and the caller asks Ron a question he thought he’d never have to answer, “Would you like to join our cause?” This is 1978, and the KKK is on the rise in the United States. Its Grand Wizard, David Duke, has made a name for himself, appearing on talk shows, and major magazine interviews preaching a “kinder” Klan that wants nothing more than to preserve a heritage, and to restore a nation to its former glory. Ron answers the caller’s question that night with a yes, launching what is surely one of the most audacious, and incredible undercover investigations in history. Ron recruits his partner Chuck to play the "white" Ron Stallworth, while Stallworth himself conducts all subsequent phone conversations. During the months-long investigation, Stallworth sabotages cross burnings, exposes white supremacists in the military, and even befriends David Duke himself. Black Klansman is an amazing true story that reads like a crime thriller, and a searing portrait of a divided America and the extraordinary heroes who dare to fight back.

Book Synopsis Can't Find My Way Home by : Martin Torgoff
Download or read book Can't Find My Way Home written by Martin Torgoff and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2004-05-13 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can't Find My Way Home is a history of illicit drug use in America in the second half of the twentieth century and a personal journey through the drug experience. It's the remarkable story of how America got high, the epic tale of how the American Century transformed into the Great Stoned Age. Martin Torgoff begins with the avant-garde worlds of bebop jazz and the emerging Beat writers, who embraced the consciousness-altering properties of marijuana and other underground drugs. These musicians and writers midwifed the age of marijuana in the 1960s even as Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert (later Ram Dass) discovered the power of LSD, ushering in the psychedelic era. While President John Kennedy proclaimed a New Frontier and NASA journeyed to the moon, millions of young Americans began discovering their own new frontiers on a voyage to inner space. What had been the province of a fringe avant-garde only a decade earlier became a mass movement that affected and altered mainstream America. And so America sped through the century, dropping acid and eating magic mushrooms at home, shooting heroin and ingesting amphetamines in Vietnam, snorting cocaine in the disco era, smoking crack cocaine in the devastated inner cities of the 1980s, discovering MDMA (Ecstasy) in the rave culture of the 1990s. Can't Find My Way Home tells this extraordinary story by weaving together first-person accounts and historical background into a narrative vast in scope yet rich in intimate detail. Among those who describe their experiments with consciousness are Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, Robert Stone, Wavy Gravy, Grace Slick, Oliver Stone, Peter Coyote, David Crosby, and many others from Haight Ashbury to Studio 54 to housing projects and rave warehouses. But Can't Find My Way Home does not neglect the recovery movement, the war on drugs, and the ongoing debate over drug policy. And even as Martin Torgoff tells the story of his own addiction and recovery, he neither romanticizes nor demonizes drugs. If he finds them less dangerous than the moral crusaders say they are, he also finds them less benign than advocates insist. Illegal drugs changed the cultural landscape of America, and they continue to shape our country, with enormous consequences. This ambitious, fascinating book is the story of how that happened.

Book Synopsis Narc, Convictions of a Dea Agent by : Sal Martinez
Download or read book Narc, Convictions of a Dea Agent written by Sal Martinez and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-25 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Juarez Cartel had total control of a major drug gateway between Ciudad Juarez and El Paso in the 1990's. No American agents were assigned to work there because of the risk, an appalling danger that became the focus of books and movies. Sal crossed the line and became a pioneer in the war against the cartel in the most violent city in the world. Sal was a highly decorated Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent. As an undercover agent, he seized tons of illicit drugs, arrested countless criminals, and worked in Mexico illegally. He did what was necessary in the war on drugs. On the way, he gave in to the rules and the mentality of the underworld - deception, manipulation, and death. The government Sal nearly died for turned on him, a scaring betrayal. This is an extraordinary story of someone who lived in both extremes of our criminal justice system. He went through something no one ever wants to experience and was forced to play his biggest undercover role to stay alive. When the government wants you, they will get you. Sal knew that because he did it for a living. Expedition of punishment took precedence over the presentation of factual innocence. For those who have been arrested, the reality is 'guilty until proven innocent'. For those betrayed, the pain is unending.
Download or read book Border Bandits written by Camilla Fojas and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2009-06-03 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The southern frontier is one of the most emotionally charged zones in the United States, second only to its historical predecessor and partner, the western frontier. Though they span many genres, border films share common themes, trace the mood swings of public policy, and shape our cultural agenda. In this examination, Camilla Fojas studies how major Hollywood films exploit the border between Mexico and the United States to tell a story about U.S. dominance in the American hemisphere. She charts the shift from the mythos of the open western frontier to that of the embattled southern frontier by offering in-depth analyses of particular border films, from post-World War II Westerns to drug-trafficking films to contemporary Latino/a cinema, within their historical and political contexts. Fojas argues that Hollywood border films do important social work by offering a cinematic space through which viewers can manage traumatic and undesirable histories and ultimately reaffirm core "American" values. At the same time, these border narratives delineate opposing values and ideas. Latino border films offer a critical vantage onto these topics; they challenge the presumptions of U.S. nationalism and subsequent cultural attitudes about immigrants and immigration, and often critically reconstruct their Hollywood kin. By analyzing films such as Duel in the Sun, The Wild Bunch, El Norte, The Border, Traffic, and Brokeback Mountain, Fojas demands that we reexamine the powerful mythology of the Hollywood borderlands. This detailed scrutiny recognizes that these films are part of a national narrative comprised of many texts and symbols that create the myth of the United States as capital of the Americas.
Book Synopsis The Gangs of Zion by : Ron Stallworth
Download or read book The Gangs of Zion written by Ron Stallworth and published by Legacy Lit. This book was released on 2024-09-17 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author of Black Klansman, Ron Stallworth, returns with another firsthand account of trailblazing police work in the most unlikely place for a Black cop in the ’90s. Determined to pursue his passion for undercover work wherever it leads, Ron Stallworth finally lands in Salt Lake City, Utah. Once again, he’s an outsider—not only as a Black man on a mostly white police force but also as an unapologetic nonbeliever in a state dominated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. But soon after his first drug bust in the Beehive, Stallworth makes a startling discovery—Bloods and Crips are infiltrating Mormon Country, threatening to turn the deeply conservative community into a hotbed of crime. Kids are bombing homes while carrying pocket versions of the Book of Mormon, yet his fellow cops are in denial that gangs are wreaking havoc in their Christian town. Now Stallworth has a new mission. Whether facing off with skinheads at a downtown bar or schooling white Crips blasting “F*ck tha Police,” he is intent on stemming the tide of gangs into the state. But those he expected to be his allies either have their heads in the sand or their own agendas—from the racist Mormon legislator to the community activist exploiting a fatal gang incident to spread paranoia over an imaginary race war. As he butts heads with these so-called leaders, Stallworth also realizes that gangsta rap has the key to the g-code. He becomes obsessed with—even defensive of—the music he once loathed and puts himself on the front lines of America’s culture war. Now he’s spitting uncensored lyrics before Congress and taking the stand in the 1993 murder case that puts hip-hop on trial. But the more Stallworth speaks truth to power, the more determined the gatekeepers in Utah are to silence him, and not even twenty-three years of police work could prepare him for how low they would stoop.
Book Synopsis Film Blackness by : Michael Boyce Gillespie
Download or read book Film Blackness written by Michael Boyce Gillespie and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Film Blackness Michael Boyce Gillespie shifts the ways we think about black film, treating it not as a category, a genre, or strictly a representation of the black experience but as a visual negotiation between film as art and the discursivity of race. Gillespie challenges expectations that black film can or should represent the reality of black life or provide answers to social problems. Instead, he frames black film alongside literature, music, art, photography, and new media, treating it as an interdisciplinary form that enacts black visual and expressive culture. Gillespie discusses the racial grotesque in Ralph Bakshi's Coonskin (1975), black performativity in Wendell B. Harris Jr.'s Chameleon Street (1989), blackness and noir in Bill Duke's Deep Cover (1992), and how place and desire impact blackness in Barry Jenkins's Medicine for Melancholy (2008). Considering how each film represents a distinct conception of the relationship between race and cinema, Gillespie recasts the idea of black film and poses new paradigms for genre, narrative, aesthetics, historiography, and intertextuality.
