Mr Nice

In this autobiography, Howard Marks recounts his extraordinary life, from his days as a student at Oxford University studying nuclear physics and philosophy to becoming one of the world's largest hashish smugglers.

Marks describes his involvement with the CIA, MI6, the IRA, and the Mafia, as well as his elaborate network of aliases, phone lines, and front companies.

The book details his rise to prominence in the drug trade, his eventual arrest and imprisonment, and his subsequent release and transition into a career as a writer and comedian.
