Drug Wars - An Oral History from the Trenches

by Tim Wells, William Triplett

Wells and Triplett have gone into the trenches and interviewed the street dealers, the fabulously rich smugglers, the undercover narcotics agents, the inner-city hospital doctors, the casual users and the hopelessly addicted. Each person's story allows readers to see beyond the headlines to the crisis in all its stark reality.
