From Library Journal:
This book is a kind of Cook's tour of the drug businessa business that seems as big and multinational as the oil business. The internationalization of drug use, the pervasiveness of drug useit's not just an American or a Western problemand the power of big-time drug dealers all are described in this engrossing, wide-ranging work of journalism. The picture is vivid and painted with a broad brush; the analysis is limited. What does come across is the failure of any control measure: whether the Dutch scheme for decriminalizing marijuana will work, as the author suggests, is a question sure to produce controversy. For the layperson, the book is an easy introduction to a grim topic. Henry Steck, Political Science Dept., SUNY Coll. at Cortland
