An incredible read-- extremely informative and very human. Hari writes a people's history of the war on drugs, telling the stories of addicts, empty-hearted, narcissistic government officials, law enforcement officers, dealers, and family members of those disappeared by the cartels. If you're interested in this subject Dr. Carl Hart's "High Price" and Michelle Alexander's "The New Jim Crow" are great reads too. PS: Noam Chomsky said he couldn't put this book down... NOAM CHOMSKY.
