Book Review/s to share: 5.0 out of 5 stars You Couldn't Make This Up, September 11, 2009 By Peter Maguire (NY,NY) This review is from: HERB TRADER (Paperback) As one who worked in Cambodia during the time of his capture, Arthur Torsone is lucky to have survived his imprisonment in Phnom Penh's T3 Prison and lived to tell his tale. Arthur Torsone's Herb Trader is a story too bizarre to make up, his cast of characters includes: American mercenary twins, a flamboyant British pot dealer, double-dealing Khmer Rouge warlords, hardball Cambodian politicians, bent DEA informants, and more. Anyone interested in the marijuana trade, international intrigue, or "an easy scam in Southeast Asia" should read this candid insider's account of the marijuana trade.
Peter Maguire, author of Law and War: An American Story and Facing Death in Cambodia.
