520 "MAD MEN MEETS THE WIRE IN THIS GRIPPING TRUE-CRIME MEMOIR
BY A FORMER AGENT AT THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF NARCOTICS IN
1960s NEW YORK Before Nixon famously declared a "war on
drugs," there was the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. New
York City in the mid-1960s: The war in Vietnam was on the
nation's tongue--but so is something else. Clandestine and
chaotic, but equally ruthless, the agents of the Bureau
were feared by the Mafia, dealers, pimps, prostitutes--
anyone who did his or her business on the streets. With
few rules and almost no oversight, the battle-hardened
agents of the bureau were often more vicious than the
criminals they chased. Agent Dean Unkefer was a naive kid
with notions of justice and fair play when he joined up.
But all that quickly changes once he gets thrown into the
lion's den of 90 Church, the headquarters of the Federal
Bureau of Narcotics, where he is shocked to see the agents
he revered are often more like thugs than lawmen. When he
finally gets the chance to prove his mettle by going
undercover in the field, the lines become increasingly
blurred. As he spirals into the hell of addiction and
watches his life become a complex balancing act of lies
and half-truths, he begins to wonder what side he is
really on. 90 Church is both the unbelievable memoir of
one man's confrontation with the dark corners of the human
experience and a fascinating window into a little-known
time in American history. Learn the story of the agents
who make the DEA look like choirboys"--|cProvided by
