Overcoming: My Journey from Abject Poverty to the American Dream

A story of young sharecropper, Jack Taylor, who made his way through every hurdle thrown at him, to reach his American Dream. Fred C. Ball, DEA Assistant Special Agent in Charge, Retired states: "The wildest, most violent and craziest days in the "War on Drugs" were the decades of the 70's and 80's. America was awash in heroin and cocaine, the Mexican and Colombian Drug Cartels were at war with America. In Mississippi and Texas/Mexico border, I had the privilege of working with DEA Special Agent Jack Taylor, a no holds barred, go get'um agent who loved the action and loved his job. Together with some of the greatest DEA agents that will ever carry a badge, we "waded the river" together and survived to tell this story."
