Archive-based historical narratives that describe the origins of American drug laws and then explain what happened after World War II include David Musto's American Disease, 3rd edition, and the revised edition of my Dark Paradise. Michael Massing's The Fix is a good, interviewed-based account that covers events from the early 1970s.

**************
A colleague of mine just asked me if I could suggest any histories of the
"war on drugs" in post World War II America, and I was embarrassed to
realize I could not name any books on the history of America's long war on
drugs. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Williamjames
