In the mid-1980s, Howard Marks had forty-three aliases, eighty phone lines, and owned twenty-five companies around the world. At the height of his career, he smuggled shipments of up to thirty tons of marijuana and had connections with organizations as varied as MI6, the CIA, the IRA, and the Mafia. Following a worldwide operation by the Drug Enforcement Agency, he was arrested and sentenced to twenty-five years in prison at Terre Haute, Indiana. He was released in April 1995 after serving seven years of his sentence. Told with humor, charm, and openness, Mr. Nice is his own extraordinary story. The story of a remarkable life lived by a very brilliant and exceptional person.
