Author David Tuch discusses his debut book, The Wireless Operator: The Untold Story of the British Sailor Who Invented the Modern Drug Trade, in conversation with journalist and author Dick Lehr. Drawing on newly declassified records and personal research, Tuch uncovers the remarkable true story of his cousin Harold Derber, whose innovative smuggling operations helped shape the modern drug trade and the war on drugs that followed.
Presented as part of the Friends of the Wellesley Free Libraries' Arnold Lecture Series.
