520 The authors employ the techniques of oral history to
penetrate the nether world of the drug user, giving us an
engrossing portrait of life in the drug subculture during
the "classic" era of strict narcotic control. Praise for
the hardcover edition: "A momentous book which I feel is
destined to become a classic in the category of scholarly
narcotic books."--Claude Brown, author of the bestseller,
Manchild in the Promised Land. "The drug literature is
filled with the stereotyped opinions of non-addicted,
middle-class pundits who have had little direct contact
with addicts. These stories are reality. Narcotic addicts
of the inner cities are both tough and gentle, deceptive
when necessary and yet often generous--above all, shrewd
judges of character. While judging them, the clinician is
also being judged."--Vincent P. Dole, M.D., The
Rockefeller Institute. "What was it like to be a narcotic
addict during the Anslinger era? No book will probably
ever appear that gives a better picture than this one. ...
a singularly readable and informative work on a subject
ordinarily buried in clich & eacute;s and stereotypes."--
Donald W. Goodwin, Journal of the American Medical
Association " ... an important contribution to the growing
body of literature that attempts to more clearly define
the nature of drug addiction. ... [This book] will appeal
to a diverse audience. Academicians, politicians, and the
general reader will find this approach to drug addiction
extremely beneficial, insightful, and instructive. ...
Without qualification anyone wishing to acquire a better
understanding of drug addicts and addiction will benefit
from reading this book." --John C. McWilliams,
Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography "This study
has much to say to a general audience, as well as those
involved in drug control." --Publishers Weekly "The
authors' comments are perceptive and the interviews make
interesting reading." --John Duffy, Journal of American
History "This book adds a vital and often compelling human
dimension to the story of drug use and law enforcement.
The material will be of great value to other specialists,
such as those interested in the history of organized crime
and of outsiders in general." --H. Wayne Morgan, Journal
of Southern History "This book represents a significant
and valuable addition to the contemporary substance abuse
literature. ... this book presents findings from a novel
and remarkably imaginative research approach in a cogent
and exceptionally informative manner." --William M. Harvey,
Journal of Psychoactive Drugs "This is a good and
important book filled with new information containing
provocative elements usually brought forth through the
touching details of personal experience. ... There isn't a
recollection which isn't of intrinsic value and many point
to issues hardly ever broached in more conventional
studies." --Alan Block, Journal of Social History.
