Containing Addiction: The Federal Bureau of Narcotics and the Origins of America's Global Drug War - Culture and Politics in the Cold War and Beyond
Matthew R. Pembleton
The story of America's “War on Drugs” usually begins with Richard Nixon or Ronald Reagan. In Containing Addiction, Matthew R. Pembleton argues that its origins instead lie in the years following World War II, when the Federal Bureau of Narcotics began to depict drug control as a paramilitary conflict and sent agents abroad to disrupt the flow of drugs to American shores.
