About this book

The History of Cocaine in Ireland

From the first street dealers to modern-day crime lords, author Nicolla Tallant uncovers how cocaine has become the most dangerous economic boom in Irish history.

Ireland's narco war explained. In less than a few decades, Ireland has become the country with the highest intake of cocaine in the world. But how did this come to be? Who was behind this, and what do they gain from it today? Investigative journalist Nicolla Tallant answers these questions in Cocaine Cowboys, a true crime cartel book that documents the people behind the biggest smuggling operation of illegal drugs into Ireland and how it still affects the country today.

How the cocaine cowboys rose to power. Colombia's most famous illegal export held a lot of promise for not just users, but also sellers. Each chapter in this dirty money documentary book dives into how these street dealers became powerful figures in Irish economics through illegal trafficking, dealings, and the growth of cocaine abuse. By the end, readers will not only learn how the drug cartel created chaos and violence in Ireland to gain riches, but also how they left their mark on the history of cocaine itself.

Inside Cocaine Cowboys, you'll find:

Facts about famous Irish crime families and organizations
How cocaine became available in every rural pub across Ireland
True stories of homicide cases linked to the cocaine empire
How the Irish government and public are combating the narcotic epidemic today
