Beschreibung
Challenging "traditional thinking about both the 'rise' and 'fall' of drug problems, "Cocaine" examines phenomena that have eluded earlier students of drug history. Joseph Spillane explores the role of American business in fostering consumer interest in cocaine during the years when no law proscribed its use, the ways in which authorities and social agents tried nonetheless to establish informal controls on the substance, and the mixed results they achieved.
