Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs
Johann HariThe reporter set out on a two-year, 20,000-mile journey through the theatre of this war - to find out how it began, how it has affected people around the world, and how we can move beyond it. Chasing The Scream is fueled by dramatic personal stories of the people he meets along the way. The title itself comes from a formative story of Harry Anslinger, first commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, sent as a boy to the pharmacy for a neighbour screaming in withdrawal - an experience that led him to fear drugs without regard to context. Always we come back to the front lines in the U.S., where we instigated the war and exported it around the globe, but where change is also coming.
"Through a smattering of narratives, the author looks at the centennial of the war on drugs from the time it was legislated with the passage of the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act in 1914. Blending sociology, history and reportage with novelistic detail, Hari uses the narratives of the first American drug czar Harry Anslinger, jazz singer and addict Billie Holiday, and drug-dealing gangster Arnold Rothstein as archetypes to point out how the war continually perpetuates itself with shocking intensity and contradiction... A compassionate and humane argument to overturn draconian drug policies." - Kirkus Reviews
