TFB Behind The Gun Podcast #77: Operation Wide Receiver with Author Mike Detty - a podcast by The Firearm Blog

In today's episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast, I have the privilege of speaking with Mike Detty, the author of "Operation Wide Receiver." His book exposes the corruption and deceit behind the infamous ATF gun walking scandal that bears its name, as well as the subsequent "Operation Fast and Furious." I recently had the opportunity to meet Mike in Arizona during a Gunsite event. Although he didn't initially disclose it, upon hearing someone mention his book, I eagerly inquired about it and discovered that he was actually involved in the precursor event to Operation Fast and Furious—Operation Wide Receiver.

During our conversation on the podcast, Mike recounts his firsthand experiences as a legitimate Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) who also served as an undercover ATF informant during the operation. He reveals the reasons that compelled him to eventually expose this operation, which ultimately led to the even more notorious Operation Fast and Furious. Join us today as Mike shares detailed explanations from his book, which reads more like a captivating action thriller than a mere retelling of real events. If you're interested in delving into his book, it is available on Amazon for approximately $13. Please welcome Mike Detty to the program!
