For good reason. Because in July of 1993, he lost his thirty-one-year-old son to a crisis that shows no signs of abating. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eChasing the Dragon\u003c\/i\u003e, Addario becomes the highest-ranking DEA agent ever to pen a book that includes the sum total of his experiences investigating narcotics hotbeds across the globe. These events include a stint as DEA's regional director for the entire continent of South America, followed by Addario's tenure running drug interdiction efforts in the infamous Golden Triangle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter fighting on the front lines of the War on Drugs for his entire professional career, Addario believes he has found a formula for winning it. Remarkably, the fact that his prescription for success has been ignored by politicians and those charged with keeping the country safe has only further emboldened him to continue the fight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart historical memoir, part advocacy document, and part exposé, this book follows Addario as he climbs the professional ladder on the front lines of the War on Drugs. In the wake of his son's tragic death he's dedicated his life to the cause, redoubling his efforts and refusing to quit until the tide is turned against a national adversity that claims more than one hundred American lives every day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThough the phrase commonly means \"chasing the high\" that heroin provides, \u003ci\u003eChasing the Dragon\u003c\/i\u003e in Addario's world is centered around hunting the monster that so defined, and ultimately upended, his own life.
