Organized Crime Editorial Review
The reception of "Chemical Cowboys: The DEA's Secret Mission to Hunt Down a Notorious Ecstasy Kingpin" has been largely positive, with readers praising its engaging storytelling, meticulous research, and insight into the War on Drugs. The book follows the efforts of DEA Special Agent Bob Gagne in combating the ecstasy trade, and also delves into Israel's organized crime issues. Readers found the characters to be vivid and inspiring, and the detailed accounts of international law enforcement cooperation were particularly enlightening. Many describe it as one of the best true crime books they've read, commending its well-Constructed narrative and fast-paced, captivating style. However, some critical voices challenge the book's portrayal of the dangers of MDMA and the methods of the DEA, feeling it lacks scientific accuracy and suggests cheerleading for the agency. Overall, "Chemical Cowboys" seems to have left a strong impression, widely recommended for those interested in the true crime genre and the complexities of the war on drugs. **
