Killer high: a history of war in six drugs.
Abstract
There is growing alarm over how drugs increasingly empower terrorists,
insurgents, traffickers, and gangs. But by looking back not just years and
decades but centuries, Peter Andreas reveals that the drugs-conflict nexus
is actually an old story, and that powerful states have been its biggest
beneficiaries.
