I thoroughly enjoyed reading Operation Fly Trap . The dramatis personae are treated as human beings, and the reader gets a chance to look at them in the flesh: loving, betrayed, strung out, anxious, and more. The book marries the real conditions of poverty, racism, and war with the day-to-day lives of victims and offenders. This is first-class ethnography. --John Hagedorn, University of Illinois at Chicago
