Nark

"[When] I began looking into narcotics enforcement, I found myself in an Orwellian netherworld ... most narcotics agents aren't cops. They are deputized gangsters, hoods legitimized by the shields they've been given ... They act from a sense of profound cynicism ... The victims they choose are mostly powerless ... The three cases in this book ... received little national attention ... The cases are but symptoms of a malaise rampant in the land in the late Sixties and early Seventies ... Thousands of young people across the country were victimized."--Introduction. One of the cases involves a Laguna Beach, California, agent whose duty had been to entice and entrap homosexuals--Book jacket
