Don Henry Ford, Jr., is an unapologetic outlaw. For seven years
he made his living smuggling marijuana across the U.S.-Mexico
border in the Big Bend region of Texas. His business partners were
some of the era's biggest "narcotraficantes" like Pablo Acosta and
Amado Carrillo Fuentes. After Ford was arrested and imprisoned, he
escaped and lived for a year in rural Mexico, raising a bumper crop
of weed and hiding out from the "federales," before his recapture
and return to the penitentiary.
"Contrabando" is the extraordinary, unabashed memoir of a rebel
-- a warrior on the other side of the War on Drugs who lived to
tell the tale. But more than a riveting and remarkable true crime
confession, "Contrabando" is an ode to the beauty of the dry, dusty
West Texas plains and the lonely hills of Mexico -- and a tribute
to Ford's friends, protectors, and fellow outlaws who stood by him
during the dangerous smuggling years.
