Publisher's summary
The true and shocking story of an undercover smuggling operation.
Conducted under the umbrella of Project Gunrunner, intended to stem the flow of firearms to Mexico, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) ran a series of “gun walking” sting operations, including Operations Wide Receiver and Operation Fast & Furious. The government allowed licensed gun dealers to sell weapons to illegal straw buyers so that they could continue to track the firearms as they were transferred to higher-level traffickers and key figures in Mexican cartels.
Motivated by a sense of patriotic duty, Tucson gun dealer and author Mike Detty alerted the local ATF office when he was first approached by suspected cartel associates. Detty made the commitment and assumed the risks involved to help the feds make their case, often selling guns to these thugs from his home in the dead of night. Originally informed that the investigation would last just weeks, Detty’s undercover involvement in Operation Wide Receiver, the precursor to Operation Fast & Furious, which was by far the largest “gun walking” probe, stretched on for an astonishing and dangerous three years.
Though the case took several twists and turns, perhaps the cruelest turn was his betrayal by the very agency he risked everything to help.

Story
Ten days before Christmas, 2010, ATF agent John Dodson awoke to the news he had dreaded every day as a member of the elite team called the Group VII Strike Force: a US border patrol agent named Brian Terry had been shot dead by bandits armed with guns that had been supplied to them by ATF. Was this an inevitable consequence of the Obama administration's Project Gunrunner, set in place one year earlier, ostensibly to track Mexican drug cartels?

Peter Schweizer explains how a new corruption has taken hold, involving larger sums of money than ever before. Stuffing tens of thousands of dollars into a freezer has morphed into multibillion-dollar equity deals done in the dark corners of the world. President Donald Trump’s children have made front pages for their dicey transactions. However, the media has barely looked into questionable deals made by those close to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Mitch McConnell, and lesser-known politicians who have been in the game longer.

When he first met the man who called himself David Koresh, David Thibodeau was drumming for a rock band that was going nowhere fast. Intrigued and frustrated with a stalled music career, Thibodeau gradually became a follower and moved to the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. He remained there until April 19, 1993, when the compound was stormed and burnt to the ground after a 51-day standoff. In this book, Thibodeau explores why so many people came to believe that Koresh was divinely inspired.

Editorial reviews
Mike Detty was an undercover informant in a project conducted under the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms that enabled gun dealers to sell weapons to illegal buyers in order to track their use in Mexican drug cartels. Thomas Stephen, Jr.'s reportorial style lends a measured credibility to Detty's account of how his sense of patriotism allowed him to become entangled in this plot, as well as his sense of betrayal by the ATF for his ultimately futile participation. Guns Across the Border is a fascinating insider account of the inner workings of our governmental law enforcement.

Story
In a remote northern California town, a huge task force from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration conducts a raid on the stronghold of one of the biggest drug-dealing rings in the country. During the raid, the infamous, reclusive leader of the ring, Reynaldo Juarez, is shot and killed - despite direct orders from the Attorney General that he is to be taken alive at any cost because of his immense value to the government as a witness in other drug cases.

But with a computer program called Whirl360.com, he travels the world while never so much as stepping out the door. He pores over and memorizes the streets of the world. He examines every address, as well as the people who are frozen in time on his computer screen. Then he sees something that anyone else might have stumbled upon - but has not - in a street view of downtown New York City: an image in a window. An image that looks like a woman being murdered.

Full accounting of ATF and DOJ incompetence
This book is a must read for anyone that is interested in current events, constitutional law, and/or is a firearms owner. Mike Detty thankfully had the bravery and foresight to document and release his interactions with the scummy, incompetent, career driven DA and agents.
Way more people should be in prison for allowing these operations to take place, and I'm just talking about the cartel members. These people who are actively and purposefully distribute weapons to known criminals for criminal purposes, purposefully and accidently exposing a confidential informant, covering up and attempting to destroy evidence, and attempt to discredit and undercut the informant are *THE SAME* people that attempt to tell us we the people are too "irresponsible" to own firearms and dismantle our Constitutional rights. I really wish this information was way more common knowledge and people were held to account for these operations.
In summation, this book's highlighting of federal authorities indifference of ordinary citizen's safety and well being makes the case for why we have the Bill of Rights in the first place. Especially when it comes to the Second Amendment.
While the author is clearly well researched and knowledge about the subject of firearms and firearms related law, I do feel the need to comment on the narrator's performance. While overall a great performance giving slightly different voices to help with understanding who is speaking during conversations, I can can recall one time where the wrong voice was used for the wrong person, and several instances of mispronouncing brand names or abbreviations that made things confusing at times. I had to rewind a couple times to understand what the narrator actually meant. Example: Clothing brand 5.11 (Five Eleven) as "Five - One - One". Otherwise, great audio book experience.

An Important Read
This is a great co-read with Sharyl Attkisson's well researched work on the Fast and Furious operation. This account is that of a gun dealer attempting to help the BATF Phoenix office curtail the mass purchase of firearms destined for the Mexican Drug Cartels and other hoodlums south of the Border.
Following the principle of No Good Deed Goes Unpunished the feds at times seem determined to get the cooperating dealer killed with their Keystone Cops antics and lack of any appreciation for the risks the dealer is taking to assist them. Beyond that there are broken promises of compensation, actions which could easily compromise the author and allowing large quantities of guns to go south of the border.
Although the author does not speculate as to some of the reasons so many guns were allowed to be delivered to Mexico, this operation occurred at a time when the US government was trying to attack US gun dealers by actually pressuring them to make sales to individuals known to be exporting guns both out of the Phoenix and other officers. Another side of this circus is well documented in Attkissons - Fast and Furious.
A very good read , written more at the street level than Attkisson's book . The two go well together.

Abolish the ATF
I am glad that the author realized the government does not have our best interest in mind. Abolish the ATF and end the war on drugs. Government is a parasite

Misuse of guns & the sales of guns to criminals
I enjoyed the description of the events, the book does a very good job of building a mental picture of situation described. Provides insight into the criminals and their activities in the southern US and Mexico.

Exceptional story, a twist ending and Its true.
The storytelling, as written by the person whom experienced it, is well written and exceptionally detailed. The end of the story comes as a bit of a twist and leaves you thinking well no duh! 🙄

insight into goverment lies
this was a very interesting story and a good listen. ties in directly with the fast and furious scandle. shows how the government lies to and cheats and abuses people who try and do the right thing. in the end it's disgusting how these goverment pigs shit on and abused this guy. if you have ever thought about volunteering to help the government you should listen to this book first and then decide if you would still want to. it was well read with a good performance
