Product Description

Synopsis
This is a blunt, comprehensive, and unbiased look at the realities and myths of a drug that has long been cultivated, demonized and romanticized for over 7000 years. It represents a current, no-nonsense reference on heroin's pharmacology, the sociology and psychology of its use, the political, legal, and criminal justice ramifications associated with its use, its social impact, and the best practice in treatment.

5.0 out of 5 stars The truth about heroin, told with feeling and power., 24 Sep 1998
By A Customer
This is a beautifully written, deep and wide-ranging examination of the origin, use, effect and politics of heroin. It reports with great feeling and power the personal stories of those caught up in this life-destroying drug. It should be must reading for every legislator, community leader, drug counselor -- and parent.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very informative and moving book on a timely subject., 9 Oct 1998
By A Customer
I found "Heroin", by Humberto Fernandez, a fascinating read. I especially enjoyed the personal stories. It's an indepth and engaging look at this terrible drug. I really feel it is a useful tool for anyone touched by Heroin. A powerful and important book.
