"Narcotopia" è la storia vera e mai raccontata dei Wa, una tribù birmana di ex cacciatori di teste che gestisce il più potente narco-Stato al mondo. Una nazione a tutti gli effetti, con le sue leggi, le sue strade, le sue scuole e un esercito permanente, la cui economia si fonda sull’eroina e sulla metanfetamina che i Wa – da decenni nel mirino della DEA e della CIA – producono ed esportano in tutto il globo. Ma "Narcotopia" è anche la sconcertante saga di una minoranza indigena che, perseguitata dalla giunta militare birmana, si avvale dell’unico mezzo a sua disposizione – il papavero da oppio – per conquistare ciò che agli oppressi del mondo è spesso negato: la dignità, una patria, un governo autonomo..

'A band of stubborn pioneers rose from the embers of Britain's cities after World War Two and created the finest automobiles the world had ever seen … High Performance tells the exhilarating tale of their journey down the fast lane.' Ben Collins, bestselling author of The Man In The White Suit and How To Drive
