All Quiet at Mena: A reporter's memoir of buried investigations
All Quiet at Mena examines the deep secrecy that has shrouded investigations of Barry Seal, the murdered cocaine smuggler and DEA informant, who hid his planes at the small airport in Mena, Arkansas.
Drawing on extensive interviews with state and federal investigators, access to hundreds of FBI records, and her reporter's familiarity with the state, Mara Leveritt exposes the cover-up that thwarted almost every attempt to penetrate Seal's activity there.
Even today, decades after Seal's murder, sensitivities about this obscure piece of drug war history remain so acute that the resistance Leveritt encountered in writing the book became an unexpected part of the story.
