After a decades-old war on drugs, Arizona retains the dubious
distinction of serving as one of the premier drug corridors into
the United States. Previously unexamined are the historical roots
of this policy in the Grand Canyon state. Sean Duffy details the
role race and ethnicity played in earliest implementation of drug
laws in Arizona in th early decades of the 20th century. He
explores the local and state formation of drug policy and the first
federal efforts to thwart illicit smuggling from Mexico. Along with
stories of informants, wretched addicts, and an intentionally
murdered FBI agent, Duffy provides compelling evidence of
participation in illicit activities from upper echelon players.
Part historiographically, part mystery, with a sprinkle of social
commentary, All Desert Roads is an intriguing look into the origins
of Arizona's drug wars.
