Fahey - Choice "A well-drawn, comprehensive account of a troubling subject." -- Kirkus Reviews "The best general account of the subject...thoroughly researched and expertly written." -- Roy Porter - Literary Review "Starred Review. A sharply opinionated history of drugs...encyclopedic in scope and varied in perspective...difficult to dismiss." -- Publishers Weekly "An impressively researched and exhaustive volume...[that] should be considered definitive." -- San Diego Union Tribune "The most important study on this subject in years, perhaps ever." -- Phillip Knightley - Sunday Times [London] "His book is a technical triumph: well researched, well-written, well presented. . . . Moreover, it is convincing." -- Felipe Fernandez-Armesto - The Independent "Highly absorbing...an extremely impressive work." -- Christine Keneally - The New York Times "America has exported bad drug policy since the Civil War, the book shows." -- The Week "Accomplished with authority and flair." -- Virginia Quarterly Review "A stern and sustained history...first-rate scholarship...a powerful indictment of mostly failed policy." -- Washington Post "An amazing, knock-your-socks-off book, argued with depth and cunning....A stunning and vital book." -- James R.
