In the shadows of Southeast Asia's mountains, where borders blur and governments struggle to reach, one man helped transform the global drug trade. The Golden Triangle Kingpin traces the rise of Wei Hsueh-kang - the elusive architect behind one of the world's most powerful narcotics empires.

From the fading heroin routes of the old opium economy to the industrial-scale production of methamphetamine known as ice, this book uncovers how the Golden Triangle reinvented itself for the twenty-first century. At the center stood Wei Hsueh-kang: businessman, militia financier, intelligence target, and one of the most wanted narco-traffickers in modern history. Protected by geography, insurgent alliances, and the political complexity of Myanmar's Shan State, he built a network that stretched from jungle laboratories to the streets of Bangkok, Sydney, Tokyo, and beyond.
