About this product
Product Information
Cutting through the myths about the white market, Tome Feiling's The Candy Machine is the story of cocaine as it's never been told before. Gabrielle unwinds at weekends with a line of coke - and also works for a major police force. Juan Pablo is a drugs mule in Bogota who gets his stash from a sweathouse. Belica started picking coca when she was eleven. Kurt Schmoke, former mayor of Baltimore, thinks legalization's the only way ... Cocaine is big business. Governments spend millions on an unwinnable war against it, yet it's now the drug of choice in the West. How did the cocaine economy get so huge? Who keeps it running behind the scenes? In The Candy Machine Tom Feiling travels the trade routes from Colombia via Miami, Kingston and Tijuana to London and New York. He meets Medellin hitmen, US kingpins, British crack users and Brazilian traffickers, and talks to the soldiers and narcotics officers who fight the gangs. 'An important study of the cultivation, usage and suppression of cocaine' Financial Times 'The Candy Machine is highly addictive' Metro 'It is hard to decide if Tom Feiling's future lies as a QC or the new Paul Theroux. A vivid, argumentative, arresting book' Sunday Telegraph 'I've read a few documentary accounts of the rise of cocaine, and this might be the best of them' Evening Standard Tom Feiling is an award-winning documentary film-maker. He spent a year living and working in Colombia before making Resistencia- Hip-Hop in Colombia, which won numerous awards at film festivals around the world, and was broadcast in four countries. In 2003 he became Campaigns Director for the TUC's Justice for Colombia campaign, which organizes for human rights in Colombia. His book Short Walks from Bogota- Journeys in the new Colombia is published by Allen Lane.

Sadly the postman failed to deliver the first item sent, but the seller replied to my query quickly and sent a replacement item straight away. Can't really ask for more than that. Well packaged and the book received was brand new as described. Recommended seller. Many thanks.

SNEAKY postage charge. You have to put "positive" before you can leave a review. However, this transaction wasn't completely positive. The correct item arrived very quickly, BUT was described as postage free. In fact the seller added £3.15 to the price, which sounds like postage to me. I contacted them but was fobbed off with various excuses - it's a rare book was one. This book is widely available, not rare. I don't object to paying postage but prefer sellers to be up front about it.
