Description
Smuggler: A Memoir by Roger Reaves Roger Reaves' life is a testament to the power of resilience and determination. Born into poverty in Georgia, he rose to become one of the most prolific smugglers of the 20th century, evading capture and torture on multiple occasions. His exploits spanned six continents, involving the transportation of large quantities of illicit substances, including hash, cocaine, and marijuana. Reaves' story is one of unlikely friendships and alliances, forged with notorious figures such as Jorge Ochoa and Pablo Escobar, as well as "Mr Nice" Howard Marks. Yet, despite the dangers and hardships he faced, Reaves' account of his adventures is marked by a sense of humor and a sparkle in his eye. This memoir offers a unique glimpse into the world of organized crime, and the man who navigated it with remarkable skill and cunning.
