About the book
The Unarmed Truth
Two hundred Americans were killed as a result of Fast and Furious—the government-sponsored program intended to “win the drug war” by selling more than two thousand guns across the border to Mexico in the hopes of catching criminals. Instead, it turned into a bloody gang war, placing American weapons into the hands of Mexico’s most violent drug lords and kingpins, resulting in hundreds of deaths on both sides of the border. When American ATF agent Brian Terry was murdered with one of these guns, the scandal broke and led to public outcry—prompting a government cover-up.
ATF veteran John Dodson shares the shocking secrets of Fast and Furious in this firsthand account, detailing as he watched guns land in the hands of dangerous drug cartels. Despite ruthless tactics to get him to back down, John Dodson testified before congress as to the failures of the program. His experience as an everyday citizen and law enforcement officer standing up to do the right thing when he believed the government was geared to do wrong is patriotism in its purest form.
Here, in this tell-all book, Dodson shares with all Americans the truth, and why he risked it all—life, love, family and career—to tell the world about what went wrong.
