This is the outrageous story of how "Hawkeye" went from flying combat missions in Vietnam to smuggling dope by the boat and plane load into the U.S. from Colombia. His amusing reflections of his adventures and misadventures offer a vivid and accurate portrayal of the drug-smuggling world of the late 1960s and 1970s, with its colorful cast of war heroes, dealers, middlemen and addicts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Adventure & excitement in the post vietnam smuggling culture, December 19, 1999
This review is from: Reefer Warrior: How My Friends And I Found Adventure, Wealth, And Romance Smuggling Marijuana -- Until We All Went To Jail (Paperback)
Set back in the heyday of drug smuggling, before it became organized and much more deadly, Hawkeye's book is a must for anyone who just enjoys stories of action, adventure, humor and nail biting suspense. Part autobiographical and part how-to, Mr. Gross introduces you to a host of characters that Hollywood would salivate to weave a story around, from a hot headed, often times bizarre leader to a dentist with no teeth. The early chapters are a bit slow but neccessary to set the stage for post vietnam personalities. Once they got the planes in the air and the boats on the water, Gross delivers a definate page turner. Before heroin and coke turned smuggling into a dirty subject and a very deadly pastime, with crack-heads, drive-bys and the infiltration of drugs into our schools, there was a subculture of happy hippie marijuana smokers and the adventurous, sometimes half-crazy sugglers who brought the product in. Hawkeye makes great efforts to portray the smuggling life as, in short, quite fun, but full of misfits, misorganization and miracles, the miracles being any decent marijuana entering the country at all. A very fun week and a half of reading. Suspend your judgement on what laws they may have been breaking or what criminals they may have been and just enjoy the adventure of it all. Ranks right there with Jerry Kamstra's Weed. Well done, Mr. Gross.
