The War Against Drugs

In The War Against Drugs, Michael Kerrigan presents a clear, research-driven account of the global crackdown on illegal narcotics, tracing its roots from early twentieth-century legislation to modern law-enforcement operations. The narrative centers on the clash between governments, law-enforcement agencies, and powerful drug cartels, showing how each side's tactics have shaped the conflict and affected communities worldwide. Through detailed case studies of major drug-producing nations and key policy shifts, the book provides a factual overview of the strategies employed, the consequences of prohibition, and the debates surrounding alternative approaches.
