Fatal Distraction: The War on Drugs in the Age of Islamic Terror

by Arnold S. Trebach

"Arnold Trebach was one of the first reputable scholars to delineate the irrationality of America's ill-chosen drug war, its inevitable failure, and the enormous human and fiscal costs of this endless war. It is good to see that in this persuasive book he is still energetically seeking to convince the country and the world that a frontal attack on prohibition, rather than a series of wimpy compromises, is actually sensible, moderate, and eloquently practical."
