Snowblind (eBook, ePUB)

A Brief Career in the Cocaine Trade

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

'An extremely rare cut of dry wit, poetry, rock-hard fact and relentless insight into modern American morality.'
Rolling Stone

With an introduction by Howard Marks

When it was first published in the mid-seventies, Snowblind established itself as an essential piece of true-crime writing. The story of the legendary Zachary Swan, a mover in the cocaine trade who set the standard for all who followed, Sabbag's riveting account is a compulsive insight into an underworld populated by crazy characters and riven by paranoia. The result is an illuminating and wild book that influenced a generation of writers and smugglers.

'Sabbag is an incisive reporter and a stylish class-A writer.' The Times

'Unputdownable . . . the best book ever written about cocaine.' Loaded

'One of the first books among the cocaine trade and it is still among the best.' Norman Mailer

'Sabbag's vintage hard-boiled reportage flows like fiction.' Heat
