It is now 100 years since drugs were first banned in the United States. On the eve of this centenary, journalist Johann Hari set off on an epic three-year, 30,000-mile journey into the war on drugs. What he found is that more and more people all over the world have begun to recognize three startling truths: Drugs are not what we think they are. Addiction is not what we think it is. And the drug war has very different motives to the ones we have seen on our TV screens for so long.

Astounding! 100 years of poor policy debunked.

The research, analysis and humanity in this book make it a "must read" for anybody who has ever questioned the validity of "The War on Drugs", and even more so for those who haven't.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 95
No one captures the complexities of Appalachia - a rugged, brutal landscape of exquisite beauty - as evocatively and indelibly as author and poet Ron Rash. Winner of the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award, two O Henry prizes, and a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award, Rash brilliantly illuminates the tensions between the traditional and the modern, the old and new south, tenderness and violence, man and nature.

Outstanding Short Stories
Revisado: 02-22-15
This is a thoroughly enjoyable set of short stories, set in scenes that cover more than a century. Appalachia is the backdrop for all of them, and all of the readings reflect the gentle humility and humanity of the place. The only flaw, and it is a small one, is the slight overuse of the hanging ending at the end of the tales.
