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. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900 - 1999|2fast 650 0 Drug addicts|zUnited States|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008102444 650 0 Drug abuse|zUnited States|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2009123872|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012476 650 0 Drug control|zUnited States|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2009123871|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012476 650 0 Drug addicts|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85089803|zNew York (State)|zNew York|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/names/n79007751-781|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 2 Opioid-Related Disorders.|0https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/ D009293 650 7 Drug addicts.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1430242 650 7 Drug abuse.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/898480 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Drug control.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1032891 650 13 narcotics. 650 13 substance abuse. 651 2 United States.|0https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D014481 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 651 7 New York (State)|zNew York.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1204333 655 0 Electronic books|xBiography|xHistory. 655 2 Personal Narrative.|0https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D062210 655 4 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books|xBiography|xHistory. 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 700 1 Joseph, Herman,|d1931-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n88120217|eauthor. 700 1 Des Jarlais, Don,|d1945-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n88120218|eauthor. 700 1 Brown, Claude,|d1937-2002,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/n86025047|eauthor of introduction. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aCourtwright, David T., 1952-|tAddicts who survived.|b1st ed.|dKnoxville : University of Tennessee Press, ©1989|z0870495879|w(DLC) 88020583 |w(OCoLC)18190704 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=533175|zOnline eBook.
