Illicit: How Smugglers, Traffickers, and Copycats are Hijacking the Global Economy
A groundbreaking investigation of how illicit commerce is changing the world by transforming economies, reshaping politics, and capturing governments. In this fascinating and comprehensive examination of the underside of globalization, Moises Naím illuminates the struggle between traffickers and the hamstrung bureaucracies trying to control them. From illegal migrants to drugs to weapons to laundered money to counterfeit goods, the black market produces enormous profits that are reinvested to create new businesses, enable terrorists, and even to take over governments. Naím reveals the inner workings of these amazingly efficient international organizations and shows why it is so hard — and so necessary to contain them. Riveting and deeply informed, Illicit will change how you see the world around you..

To Snare A Fox To Snare a Fox is a rip roaring adventure novel about international drug trafficking on a grand scale involving oil supply boats, cargo ships and oil rigs. Follow the scented trail of the Fox around the world as DEA agent Jim Douglas tries to track down this illusive, clever, ruthless international criminal. In 1989, the Americans invaded Panama and arrested President Noriega for drug trafficking into the USA. During the battle that followed, two DEA (Drug Executive Administration), agents, working out of the American Embassy arrested a general who was about to deliver a truck load of narcotics to a British national, called the Fox, whose boat was tied up in the harbour. The two agents: Jim Douglas and Sam Pollard disguised themselves, masquerading as Panamanian army officers and drove the truck to the harbour in the old town area, for a fateful meeting with the Fox. Their plan was to arrest the Fox while he exchanged a suitcase of money for the drugs, but they had not taken into consideration the ruthless, devious intentions of the Fox. When some time later, a group of follow up CIA agents found the two men, they had been shot. Pollard was dead. Douglas had been shot in the back twice. He was alive but barely breathing. The Fox escaped with the drugs and found sanctuary in Columbia, until the invasion blew over. Six months later, agent Jim Douglas made a full recovery. It had been a startling, incredible recover from serious body wounds but, although his body had been healed, his mind was still wounded, by the trauma of seeing his fellow agent and friend die. Douglas had suffered from the Fox.
