5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book I've Read on Drugs, 23 Feb 2001

By	M. Hartley (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a highly intelligent and well-written book on the history of drugs in the nineteenth century, but in fact the best chapter is the last one where the author moves into the twentieth century and looks at the Prohibition era in the States, drawing some pertinent conclusions for the present. My only quibble is the positive spin put on Freud's contribution to the cocaine debate, which I think mistaken, but that's very much a side issue. Altogether a book I would thoroughly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars a truly mind-expanding history, 28 Nov 2000

By A Customer

Bought this on the strength of Jay's other books and I wasn't disappointed. Rich stories, great ideas and a truly devastating historical analysis of our current drug laws.
