Howard Marks' Book Of Dope Stories by Howard Marks
In this text, celebrated drug smuggler Howard Marks has collected together all of the unpublished material sent to him over the years from drug users, traffickers, smugglers, and prisoners - people from all walks of life. Also included are selections from Marks' own collection of drug writing.
During the mid-1980s Howard Marks had forty-three aliases, eighty-nine phone lines and owned twenty-five companies trading throughout the world. At the height of his career he was smuggling consignments of up to thirty tons of marijuana, and had contact with organisations as diverse as MI6, the CIA, the IRA and the Mafia. Following a worldwide operation by the Drugs Enforcement Agency, he was busted and sentenced to twenty-five years in prison at Terre Haute Penitentiary, Indiana. He was released in April 1995 after serving seven years of his sentence. His autobiography, Mr Nice, was first published in 1996 and has been published in nine languages. The film of Mr Nice, starring Rhys Ifans, Chloe Sevigny and David Thewliss, was released in 2010.
