About Life In The Fish Bowl: The True Story Of How A
Tegan Broadwater was the consummate outside insider. Pretending to be a high-end cocaine dealer, he infiltrated the deadly Crip street gang, won their trust and embarked on a mission to put them away. Ultimately, it became a dangerous cat-and-mouse game between two men: Tegan, the undercover, and M.D., the cagey drug lord with a street-level MBA. Only one of them would be left standing. LIFE IN THE FISH BOWL is Broadwater’s first-person journey from green patrol cop to gangsters’ friend to Crip-buster, loaded with action and inside information. It’s also a fascinating eyewitness account of clotted police bureaucracy, hierarchical thug life and the hazy netherworld of a man who had to move through both of them. This is an intimate, unflinching, behind-the-lines story of one man’s time in the War on Drugs and gangs, his surprising relationships and emotional attachment toward the ones he sought to stop, and his descent into a life that most people can’t imagine. Tegan Broadwater came out on the other end, a year and a half later, a changed man. He also learned a few things. The purported War on Drugs is still futile, gang life and the violence associated with it can be thwarted, and there is a dire need for strategically mentoring the children who become inadvertent victims in these operations. Breaking the cycle of violence, removing of the acceptance of young, urban youth from having multiple children without a life plan, and mentoring children of incarcerated parents is THE best place to start a true war against gang and drug violence on our American streets. “For me there's no more compelling reading than books written by cops who can write. An undercover cop who captures the real drama of what it is like to act for your life is the most ‘unputdownable’ of all. This, in particular, is must reading for every cop in or out of uniform. Tegan Broadwater taught me a few things that are going into my lesson plan for ‘Undercover Survival Tactics.” Mike Levine, author of NY Times Bestseller “DEEP COVER" and national bestseller “THE BIG WHITE LIE.” “Life in the Fish Bowl” is a gripping story of a Fort Worth undercover narcotics police officer’s determination to rid his city of a violent organized gang, which was terrorizing and murdering innocent people. Tegan Broadwater, a “clean looking” tall white guy, spent a year and a half risking his very existence while finding a way to infiltrate a local black Crip Gang notorious for dope trafficking throughout the country. He was determined and personally committed to making a difference – to having an impact on the operation of this vicious generational cycle of gang violence in Fort Worth. This is a book that should be read by all. It was written with passion, by the person on the scene, who found a way to live within the real world of crime that exists inside the towns and cities of America. Gene Cernan Commander, Apollo XVII Fiction writers and those who write for the silver screen rack their brains to come up with exciting plots and true adventure. Tegan Broadwater lived a life of adventure in the dangerous world of drug trafficking and brings his experiences to the pages of an excellent book. Often the valiant officers that risk their lives on a daily basis must rely upon on their savvy and wits to survive the day. This book gives us great insight into these officers. A great read and textbook for those who will follow him. Danny O. Coulson Commander, FBI Hostage Rescue Team, Retired Tegan Broadwater is the insider's insider, and he has written this story with deep knowledge that he won the hard way. His account of infiltrating a murderous drug gang is told with a winning combination of smarts, insight and edge-of-the-seat action. Anyone who wants to understand how this slice of the world really works can find the answers here, along with a cracking good tale. Doug J. Swanson, Author of "Blood Aces," a biography of racketeer Benny Binion.
