Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 396 pages.Argues that despite increasing levels of government action, illicit drugs are more readily available than ever, and analyzes the failure of our drug policy Editorial Reviews Amazo n.com Review In a retrospective look at the war on drugs in the U nited States, journalist Dan Baum calls the nation's drug policy as expensive, ineffective, delusional and destructive as governme nt gets. He examines the Nixon White House's effort to turn the d rug war to political advantage and the Carter Administration's br ief flirtation with decriminalizing marijuana. He also details th e cover-ups and blunders of some of the biggest drug busts in the country's history. Yet despite the policy's ineffectiveness, at least 85 percent of Americans oppose legalization. Baum sheds lig ht on the reasons for this issue and calls for radical compromise . From Publishers Weekly Many sensible analysts have argued the folly of our contradictory and damaging drug policies, but Baum m anages to make his argument fresh by tracing what he sees as the escalating missteps and ironies that led us into the war on drugs .A former Wall Street Journal reporter, Baum weaves a brisk, epis odic tale, beginning in the Vietnam era, when the media conflated widespread use of less dangerous marijuana and small-scale use o f heroin into a drug problem that Richard Nixon exploited. Meanwh ile, he contends, the fusion of contradictory schemes-such as the idea of prison sentences that are both long and mandatory-has le d to a prison-filling monster denounced even by conservatives. Ac cording to Baum, Jimmy Carter's drug strategists were the last to offer nuanced policy, but they lost the political fight, and Whi te House drug policy moved from the province of public health to law enforcement. Fighting drugs has made the executive branch loo k good, and under Ronald Reagan, federal prosecutors expanded hun grily into drug cases. Reagan, taking a page from Nixon and abett ed by wife Nancy's Just Say No campaign, Baum says, positioned go vernment's role as primarily crime fighting, not attacking the so cial problems that might underlie drug abuse. The author chilling ly portrays how the 1980s Supreme Court, caught up in the hysteri a over drugs, weakened the Fourth Amendment's protections against police excesses; equally disturbing to him is how the media acce pted the myth of the crack baby, while prenatal care may mean muc h more to a baby's health than maternal drug use. Though Baum had hoped the Clinton presidency might adopt a different drug policy , he laments that the law enforcement approach continues. Still, he maintains, a shift from prosecuting pot smokers and generally peaceful growers to treating desperate drug dependents would be a n act of medical logic and fiscal genius. The author reminds us o f an H.L. Mencken thought: sooner or later, a democracy tells the truth about itself. This book should help it do that. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Since 1968 the federal government has been bent on waging an all-out W ar on Drugs. Journalist Baum provides a thorough journalistic exa mination of the public policy, pointing out the false premises be hind Richard Nixon's decision to declare such a war, how vested i nterests used smoke and mirrors to keep the money flowing, how th e Supreme Court has weakened Fourth Amendment protections in drug cases, and the policy's ultimate failure. Baum interviewed over 200 individuals who spoke on the record?no anonymous sources are quoted. Using numerous case studies, he shows the negative consti tutional and social aspects of the criminal justice system's effo rt to stem drug abuse in America. While not arguing for legalizat ion, Baum hopes his study will motivate decision makers to devise a more humane and cost-effective drug policy. Highly recommended for most libaries. -?Gary D. Barber, SUNY at Fredonia Lib., Silv er Creek, N.Y. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Inform.
