Snow on the Atlantic by Nacho Carretero
The book the Spanish national court tried to ban. An illicit history of Galicia, the smuggling gateway to Europe, for readers of "Blitzed" and "St Petersburg".Just as the coast of Galicia has become a gate-way for one of the most potent substances to flood Europe, this excellent book becomes an entry point into understanding a crucial aspect of the history of our continent – an aspect historians so far have overlooked. * Norman Ohler, author of Blitzed: Drugs in Nazi Germany *
A Spanish story nobody ever told. A unique story, written with a novel's prose, but beware: this is all true. * Roberto Saviano, author of Gomorrah: Italy’s Other Mafia *
Adds a dramatic new chapter to the saga of Colombia’s infamous drug lords – revealing their corrupting influence far beyond the capitals of Cali and Medellin. Intrepid investigative journalist Nacho Carretero has delivered history written as an action thriller and filled it with intriguing characters. * William C. Rempel, author of At the Devil’s Table *
