This wickedly funny non-fiction book spans the 30-year career of (retired) DEA Special Agent Philippa LeVine. She spent the bulk of her early years in a clandestine lab group chasing methamphetamine cooks and tweekers. In salty sarcastic cop-speak, she provides a unique insight into investigating meth labs in San Diego, California during the 1980's biker heyday. Follow her through the investigation of a chemical supplier involving murder for hire, buried treasure, and of course, meth labs.
Later she rises to the pinnacle of mid level bureaucracy taking us deep into DEA Headquarters for a look into one of the scariest places of all. You will laugh out loud as you learn the truth about meth, the pharmaceutical companies and federal drug law enforcement.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. I couldn't put it down! By Eileen L. O'Brien I literally had tears from laughter while reading this hysterical DEA's perspective of the war on drugs, specifically meth. Being one of the first female agents in a male dominated field gives LeVine a unique perspective on the goings on of government agencies. And boy, is her perspective hilarious! If you loved Breaking Bad, you'll love this book. If you ever had to deal with a bureaucracy, you'll love this book. If you need a good laugh, this is the book for you. I couldn't put it down!
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Great take on "The Meth Wars" By Carol Great read. I have traveled some of the same roads as this author and she nailed it. Her description of DEA Headquarters and field operations are hilarious and accurate. This book is perfect for those who were there and for anyone interested in enjoying an unusual and humorous inside look at the United States government efforts to combat the meth epidemic.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Humor, History and Culture of DEA - A Rare Combination By Emil Levine I served at DEA Headquarters from 1973-1992, first as an intelligence analyst, then designing information systems to support operations and intelligence. This included working very closely for several years with the Clandestine Lab Section as I designed a chemical hazards warning system specifically for Special Agents such as SA LeVine and other federal, state and local law enforcement officers who might come into contact with these deadly dangerous compounds. I met SA LeVine at least once when I was an instructor in the Clandestine Lab School, which she mentioned.This is an important book for several reasons. It is one of the few which explains in detail the complexity of the methamphetamine problem including the culture of both the law enforcement officers and the criminals (or BG Bad Guys as tagged in the book by SA LeVine). Her detailed analysis, backed by statistics of precursor availability, shows the growth of the problem during the 1980s. She also shows the complexity of an investigation such as that which brought down Quantum.Her free flowing writing style, which includes many, many humorous anecdotes and "colorful" descriptions of both her colleagues and the BGs, makes this not only an important history of DEA, but an insight into the culture of DEA, with some accurate observations on the differences of DEA in the field and DEA in Headquarters (This reviewer had the honor and pleasure of serving in both.).While humorous, it is also an important contribution to the literature and history of drug law enforcement as well as a pleasure to read.
