Omschrijving
In January of 2007, three young stoners from Miami Beach won a $300 million Department of Defense contract to supply ammunition to the Afghanistan military. Instead of fulfilling the order with high-quality arms, they bought cheap Communist-style surplus ammunition from Balkan gunrunners.
Like the best stories about rogues, con artists and scammers, the magic is in the details. Guy Lawson's Arms and Dudes misses nothing. He gets it all
Extraordinary - a hell of a read
A triumph of investigative reporting and storytelling. This book is a mind-blowing account of how two kids turned themselves into some of the world's biggest weapons dealers in the chaotic years of the Iraq war. I couldn't put it down
Like page-turning fiction, but 100% true
A great story... and a fun new take on a moral as old as time: when you fly too close to the sun, you end up on the ground
'This is one of those books that, God help us, shouldn't be true - but is. US governmental bungling, war in Afghanistan going awry, foreign hustlers making millions out of bilking heroic soldiers, and in the middle of it all are two barely post-teenager dopers fumbling their way into and out of the highest level of the sleazy arms business
