Opium's Orphans - The 200-Year History of the War on Drugs (Hardcover)

Opium's Orphans is the first full history of drug prohibition and
the 'war on drugs'. A no-holds-barred but balanced account, it
shows that drug suppression was born of historical accident, not
rational design. The war on drugs did not originate in Europe or
the US, and even less with President Nixon, but in China. Two Opium
Wars followed by Western attempts to atone for them gave birth to
an anti-narcotics order that has come to span the globe. But has
the war on drugs succeeded? As opioid deaths and cartel violence
run rampant, contestation becomes more vocal, and marijuana is
slated for legalization, Opium's Orphans proposes that it is time
to go back to the drawing board.
