Synopsis
Roger Reaves grew up a poor farm boy in Georgia and went from making ‘moonshine’ to becoming one of the most prolific smugglers of the 20th century. He covered six continents, transporting 20 ton ship loads of hash, tons of cocaine, and completed more than 100 sorties across the US border with plane loads of marijuana.
His friends and associates spanned the globe. From Medellin Cartel kingpins Jorge Ochoa and Pablo Escobar; to “Mr Nice” Howard Marks and the infamous Barry Seal who was Rogers close friend and employee.
He escaped from prison on five seperate occasions; was shot down in both Mexico and Colombia; and tortured almost to death in a Mexican prison. Despite it all, Roger still has a twinkle in his eye as he recounts his life story.
And you have probably never heard of him…till now.
Testimonials
I heard this man on our local radio station talking about his book. I bought it because I have read a lot about Barry Seal, Mena, the CIA, and the Clintons etc. I thought he might fill in some blanks in what I had read. He did do that, but the majority of the book is about his life and exploits all over the world.
He calls his book “a Memoir” and that is what it is. He has had the craziest life story you will ever read about. They say cats have nine lives this man must have had a hundred. He has a scar on his skull where a bullet grazed it, one on his cheek, and a missing big toe that was shot off. He almost died in several airplane incidents. You have to keep reading to see what is going to happen next.
He owned several airplanes, boats, houses, dined at exclusive restaurants and spent money like water. He went through millions.
He is a well-read man too. He is familiar with all the classics, the Bible, and to my surprise, “Pilgrims Progress”. He quotes from all these repeatedly.
Let me just repeat again, this is the wildest life story you will ever read.
This is an epic tale of derring do, love and family values.
