This fascinating history of international drug trafficking in the
first half of the twentieth century follows the stories of American
narcs and gangsters, Japanese spies, Chinese warlords, and soldiers
of fortune whose lives revolved around opium. The drug trade
centered on China, which was before 1949, the world's largest
narcotic market. The authors tell the interlocking stories of the
many extraordinary personalities_sinister and otherwise_involved in
narcotics trafficking in Asia, Europe, and the United States.
Drawing on a rich store of U.S., British, European, Japanese, and
Chinese archives, this unique study will be invaluable for all
readers interested in the drug trade and contemporary East Asian
history.
