Description
With a new preface Looking back on the 25-year war on drugs, Michael Massing offers a blistering critique of the politics and narrow-mindedness that have made our national drug policy a failure, and he proposes what must be done - stressing treatment over imprisonment - to begin to rescue addicts from the street and diminish the hold drugs have in this country.
