Telling an incredible story, Chepesiuk's painstaking investigation reveals nugget after nugget about the enigmatic but charismatic drug lord, and this riveting book is a page-turning read. Highly recommended. ~ Elliot Goldenberg, author of Spy of David *** Once again, Ron Chepesiuk opens up the world of gangsters to his readers in a style that is rich both in historical facts and enter - tainment. Crazy Charlie: Carlos Lehder, Revolutionary or Neo Nazi is a book not to be missed by either the casual reader or the aficionado of the Prohibition era. ~ Barbara Casey, Author of Kathryn Kelly: The Moll behind Machine Gun Kelly; The Gospel According to Prissy *** Crazy Charlie is an interesting look at the excitement and danger of the drug world and many of the major players in the billion dollar cocaine business at the end of the 20th century. This book does for the reader the same thing that George Jung does for Carlos Lehder in the drug transportation business. It will take a person who knows nothing about drugs and give a solid education on the very people who doped up most American cities. Crazy Charlie is a terrific read. ~ Caliph Shaquel, director of documentary on Kendrick Johnson and author of biography on Nat Turner
