Snowblind: A Brief Career In The Cocaine Trade is a book by American author Robert Sabbag. First published in 1976, the book is a work of literary nonfiction that chronicles the smuggling career of Zachary Swan, who became adept at trafficking cocaine from Colombia into the US in the early 1970s, before organized crime took over the cocaine trade. The events take place primarily in New York City and Bogotá and feature a variety of colorful characters. Unlike other smugglers of that era, Swan concocted a variety of scams designed both to evade customs officials and to protect his accomplices from prosecution.[1] [2] [3]
