Book description
WITH NEW MATERIAL
During the mid 1980s Howard Marks had forty three aliases, eighty
nine phone lines and owned twenty five companies throughout the world.
Whether bars, recording studios or offshore banks, all were money
laundering vehicles serving the core activity: dope dealing. Marks
began to deal small amounts of hashish while doing a postgraduate
philosopy course at Oxford, but soon he was moving much larger
quantities. At the height of his career he was smuggling consignments
of up to fifty tons from Pakistan and Thailand to America and Canada
and had contact with organisations as diverse as MI6, the CIA, the IRA
and the Mafia. Mr Nice is Howard Mark's extraordinary story.
Howard Marks is an acclaimed travel and sports writer, TV personality
and DJ. For the last ten years he has had a series of successful one man
shows. He lives in Europe and continues to campaign for the legalisation
of marijuana.
