Beskrivelse af The Reluctant Warlord: On the Trail of America's Most Wanted Man
A compelling memoir of an Asian drug lord and his battle for the people of Myanmar.Khun Sa rose to power in the war torn jungles of Burma to become the world's opium king of organized crime, with a $2 million bounty on his head. He was also an astute military commander of a 30,000 man army, defending the Shan people from slavery by a brutal Myanmar dictatorship.This is the first detailed account of Khun Sa's entire life. It connects the warlord to historic world events including the Vietnam War and uncovers a lamentable saga of global corruption, greed and a conspiracy between governments, the CIA and drug lords.Author and filmmaker Patrick King recounts his unique relationship with the warlord and the bizarre world in which he lived - a 'Rambo' special forces colonel, ruthless mercenaries, a wild bunch of politicians, drug cartels, a blonde heiress, English lords and even shoes for Princess Diana - this story has it all.
