Just finished reading the mind blowing book "The Big White Lie: The Deep Cover Operation That Exposed the CIA Sabotage of The Drug War" by veteran DEA agent, Michael Levine.

Wow.

Anyone who hasn't read it should. It's funny. It's scary. It's angry. It's deliciously intriguing. It is filled with tense situations. It is filled with surprises. This is the type of book that you can't put down until you are done reading it. You literally take it everywhere with you.

I won't give away more than the title, but there is a lot more in the book than just the implications behind the title. The power structure of underworld society is a bit more convoluted than even what many a conspiracy theorist might suspect: At many different nexus points, the underworld sphere crosses over into the governmental sphere, meaning the actors are operating in both the criminal world and the governmental world, simultaneously, because they are both one and the same.

Michael Levine is an expert writer.

This book reads like a blockbuster movie.
