Behind a Thin Green Line: The Memoir of an Undercover Game Warden

Tony Latham grew up hankering to be a game warden like his great uncle, Hawley Hill in the 1950s and '60s. His first career involved chasing wildfires in the interior of Alaska. (He claims to have caught one once.) After his fire career, Tony spent 22 years pursuing wildlife thieves both in and out of uniform with Idaho Fish and Game. Behind a Thin Green Line is the tense story of a solo undercover investigation into a sociopathic ring of poachers that could have stepped out of the movie, Mad Max. In Idaho’s remote Pahsimeroi Valley, Latham takes a shot at infiltrating this brutal gang of outlaws led by a man who lives to kill. This true story is an enlightening look into a collision of two grossly conflicting cultures. Poachers and game wardens. poachers,wildlife,Idaho,poaching,game wardens "Behind a Thin Green Line is the tense story of a solo undercover investigation into a sociopathic ring of poachers that could have stepped out of the movie, Mad Max.
