Their leader was a Texas soldier of fortune named Mike Perdue. His lieutenant was a Canadian Nazi named Wolfgang Droege. Their destination: Dominica. For two years, they recruited fighting men, wooed investors, stockpiled weapons and forged links with the mob, leftist revolutionaries and militant Rastafarians. They called their invasion Operation Red Dog, and they were going to make millions. All that stood in their way were two federal agents from New Orleans on the biggest case of their lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSet in the Caribbean, Canada and the American South at the end of the Cold War, and based on hundreds of pages of declassified U.S. government documents, as well as exclusive interviews with those involved, \u003cem\u003eBayou of Pigs\u003c\/em\u003e tells the true story of Canadian and American men who tried to steal a tropical paradise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stewart Bell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1443427640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781443427647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e HarperCollins Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.90d","brand":"Stewart Bell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994065764607,"sku":"9781443427647","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dae338ee-1559-4424-bb3c-91cb9ba341b3.jpg?v=1683327929","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bayou-of-pigs-stewart-bell-9781443427647","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
