Sabow was found dead in his backyard after he told his superiors he wouldn't back off. It is just one story of so many that paint a criminal picture of the U.S. federal government with regard to its so-called war on drugs.

A new History Channel program takes a critical look at the drug war in America that represents such an abject failure in public and health policy.

Please tune in tonight @ 10PM EST / 7PM PST on H2 (History) for America's Book of Secrets: The Drug Wars http://www.history.com/shows/americas-book-of-secrets
