What happens when four U.S. presidents wage a war on drugs and Americans become prisoners of the war and part of the poverty-to-prison pipeline? What happens when two of America's Most Wanted are victims of ineffective assistance of counsel?
Motor City stirs debate with its brutally honest depiction of the war on drugs in America. This exposition of the counterproductive results of said war includes the execrable treatment of African Americans, Hispanics, and the poor in America. The book journeys through the lives of two brothers from Detroit who allegedly became international kingpins and how the collision of drugs, race, and class became intertwined in their lives as they became two of America's Most Wanted.
Human and personal in its characterizations and attention to detail, Motor City plunges the reader into the decades of the struggles endemic to African Americans and the investigation of the Motor City Brothers led by the DEA, FBI, CIA, and High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) task forces.
