Levine's prose is fast-moving, highly readable, and hard-hitting. He tells how the beautiful South American \"Queen of Cocaine\" seduced the CIA into protecting her from prosecution as she sold drugs to Americans; how CIA-sponsored paramilitary ousted, tortured, and killed members of a pro-DEA Bolivian ruling party; and how the CIA created La Corporacion, the \"General Motors of cocaine,\" which led directly to the current cocaine\/crack epidemic. As a 25-year veteran agent for the DEA, Michael Levine worked deep-cover cases from Bangkok to Buenos Aires, and witnessed firsthand scandalous violations of drug laws by U.S. officials.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Kavanau-Levine, Michael Levine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0985238623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780985238629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Kavanau-Levine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 1.10d","brand":"Laura Kavanau-Levine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044047057151,"sku":"9780985238629","price":16.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da4d4652-4d9e-4964-9f50-0d2cadaa8b0b.jpg?v=1684970622","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-big-white-lie-laura-kavanau-levine-9780985238629","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
