Deceived beyond belief This book is an eye opening journey through a world that the general population doesn't know exists. This should be required reading for everyone. Completely riveting from start to end.. Is this what David Simon meant when he said that THE WIRE is about anger at the government's betrayal of its ciitzens If there is no real war against drugs, if it is hopeless, then I can better understand why the Bunny Colvin character in THE WIRE felt that legalizing drugs was a good idea and it had nothing to do with compromised values.. M. Mackinnon said What the people don't know. Deep Cover is a real page turner. I love true stories of spy games, secret operations, scandal, government cover-ups, black operations, and the great amount of effort put into fighting the War on Drugs. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in uncovering truths about government agencies and what they actually do.
