Summary
 As an undercover police officer with the drugs squad Neil Woods regularly risked his life on the streets dealing with some of the most violent and unpredictable criminals in Britain. Good Cop, Bad War is a unique story about a man with a striking ability to infiltrate and extinguish drug gangs, but who, as the success of his operations grows, becomes disillusioned with the ‘war on drugs,’ as he sees how it demonizes those who need help, whilst empowering ‘the very worst elements in society.’ This is an action-packed true account read like no other.©2016 Neil Woods (P)2016 W.F.

Everything about this story is really interesting and written in such a captivating way that I couldn't stop listening, I'd heard Neil on Scroobius Pip's podcast which led me to this book. The narrater is really good. Highly recommended

Best read I have had in a while

I listened to this right the way through from start to finish in one go, it's that gripping.
There were some parts were I had to pause simply because it was so raw and confronting that I had to take a moment. That's not a bad thing.
As confronting as it is, I think people need to hear what Neil has to say. That's not hard as he says it well, the book is well written and engaging to the point that I had to hear the entire thing and couldn't wait.

Also the narrator does a brilliant job of giving the text the emotional presentation it deserves.
I can't recommend this enough.

Everyone needs to read this!
