The Story of Drug Trafficking

Combining diplomacy and drug enforcement at the ground level, Nixon's War on Drugs forced drug cartels to radically adapt new business methods, and thus, from the ashes of the Old World, drug trafficking reorganized at lightning speed and grew exponentially. Enter the era of the drug lord. Now, the world faced a new, unprecedented level of narcotics trafficking, one with seething ambition.

Over time, as illicit drug production and use grew to enormous levels, so too did grisly drug violence.
