The page-turning, inside account of how three kids from Florida became big-time weapons traders—and how the US government turned on them. In January of 2007, three young stoners from Miami Beach won a $300 million Department of Defense contract to supply ammunition to the Afghanistan military. Incredibly, instead of fulfilling the order with high-quality arms, Efraim Diveroli, David Packouz, and Alex Podrizki—the dudes—bought cheap Communist-style surplus ammunition from Balkan gunrunners. The dudes then secretly repackaged millions of rounds of shoddy Chinese ammunition and shipped it to Kabul—until they were caught by Pentagon investigators and the scandal turned up on the front page of The New York Times. That’s the “official” story. The truth is far more explosive. For the first time, journalist Guy Lawson tells the thrilling true tale. It’s a trip that goes from a dive apartment in Miami Beach to mountain caves in Albania, the corridors of power in Washington, and the frontlines of Iraq and Afghanistan. Lawson’s account includes a shady Swiss gunrunner, Russian arms dealers, corrupt Albanian gangsters, and a Pentagon investigation that impeded America’s war efforts in Afghanistan. Lawson exposes the mysterious and murky world of global arms dealing, showing how the American military came to use private contractors like Diveroli, Packouz, and Podrizki as middlemen to secure weapons from illegal arms dealers—the same men who sell guns to dictators, warlords, and drug traffickers. This is a story you were never meant to read.

      Thank You, the feedback on my blog is always appreciated! I wasn’t sure if when I started it in 2021, if it was content anyone would be interested in! But, I took the two things I love the most, film and history, and decided I would combine my two Bachelor’s and teach some history in a differnt more enaging way! I really felt that the internet was lacking an interesting way to take in history, and thought, everyone loves film and television, why not meet them on that level, while also showing that there is plenty history to be learned from films and television that adapt those histories! So It pleases me to know that MoviestoHistory.com has an audience! I look forward to you reading more of the excellant content I have planned for the future!
