Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller, Norman Ohler's Blitzed is a "fascinating, engrossing, often dark history of drug use in the Third Reich” (Washington Post). The Nazi regime preached an ideology of physical, mental, and moral purity. Yet as Norman Ohler reveals in this gripping history, the Third Reich was saturated with drugs: cocaine, opiates, and, most of all, methamphetamines, which were consumed by everyone from factory workers to housewives to German soldiers. In fact, troops were encouraged, and in some cases ordered, to take rations of a form of crystal meth—the elevated energy and feelings of invincibility associated with the high even help to account for the breakneck invasion that sealed the fall of France in 1940, as well as other German military victories. Hitler himself became increasingly dependent on injections of a cocktail of drugs—ultimately including Eukodal, a cousin of heroin—administered by his personal doctor. Thoroughly researched and rivetingly readable, Blitzed throws light on a history that, until now, has remained in the shadows. “Delightfully nuts.”—The New Yorker

Book excerpt: How the War on Drugs is maintained through racism,authority and public opinion. From the hit television series Breaking Bad, to daily news reports, anti-drug advertising campaigns and highly publicized world-wide hunts for “narcoterrorists” such as Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, the drug, methamphetamine occupies a unique and important space in the public’s imagination. In Meth Wars, Travis Linnemann situates the "meth epidemic" within the broader culture and politics of drug control and mass incarceration. Linnemann draws together a range of examples and critical interdisciplinary scholarship to show how methamphetamine, and the drug war more generally, are part of a larger governing strategy that animates the politics of fear and insecurity and links seemingly unrelated concerns such as environmental dangers, the politics of immigration and national security, policing tactics, and terrorism. The author’s unique analysis presents a compelling case for how the supposed “meth epidemic” allows politicians, small town police and government counter-narcotics agents to engage in a singular policing project in service to the broader economic and geostrategic interests of the United States.

This book was released on with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was March 18, 1944. Aimo Koivunen, the Finnish soldier was on patrol with his troop. The winter was at its peak and the squad was skiing through the snowy mountains. As Aimo was weary, he picked his drug bottle and took the pills. Since he was wearing mitts, and they were in a hurry to escape from the Red Army, he swallowed the entire set of Pervitin. He took 30 tablets and got overdosed where he was supposed to take one. The use of drugs in war is not a new thing. In the Second World War, the Germans employed methamphetamine to enhance their strength and capacity to resist in the battle. Speed was popular and available just like biscuits in the market. However, the meth-fuelled soldier loses his senses. Aimo and his troop escaped from their enemy army, but Aimo did not get back to his senses. He was hallucinating and delusions were affecting him. The team tried to get Aimo, but he was a threat to them as well. They feared that he might attack them. Finally, he was left alone in the woods. Aimo’s rest of the days in the forest was miserable. He could not distinguish the real and unreal things. He fought imaginary attacks and was injured from the mines. Without food and no ammunition, Aimo continued his skiing and finally stayed there as his left leg was severely injured. Finally, he caught the attention of a pilot circling above him and a team rescued him. The effect of the drug indeed helped him survive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its steady march across the United States, methamphetamine has become, to quote former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, OC the most dangerous drug in America.OCO As a result, there has been a concerted effort at the local level to root out the methamphetamine problem by identifying the people at its sourceOCothose known or suspected to be involved with methamphetamine. Government-sponsored anti-methamphetamine legislation has enhanced these local efforts, formally and informally encouraging rural residents to identify meth offenders in their communities. Policing Methamphetamine shows what happens in everyday lifeOCoand to everyday lifeOCowhen methamphetamine becomes an object of collective concern. Drawing on interviews with users, police officers, judges, and parents and friends of addicts in one West Virginia town, William Garriott finds that this overriding effort to confront the problem changed the character of the community as well as the role of law in creating and maintaining social order. Ultimately, this work addresses the impact of methamphetamine and, more generally, the war on drugs, on everyday life in the United States.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller Winner of the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize Winner of the Hillman Prize for Book Journalism Named a best book of the year by: the Los Angeles Times the San Francisco Chronicle the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch the Chicago Tribune the Seattle Times "A stunning look at a problem that has dire consequences for our country.”-New York Post The dramatic story of Methamphetamine as it comes to the American Heartland-a timely, moving, account of one community's attempt to confront the epidemic and see their way to a brighter future. Crystal methamphetamine is widely considered to be the most dangerous drug in the world, and nowhere is that more true than in the small towns of the American heartland. Methland is the story of the drug as it infiltrates the community of Oelwein, Iowa (pop. 6,159), a once-thriving farming and railroad community. Tracing the connections between the lives touched by meth and the global forces that have set the stage for the epidemic, Methland offers a vital and unique perspective on a pressing contemporary tragedy. Oelwein, Iowa is like thousand of other small towns across the county. It has been left in the dust by the consolidation of the agricultural industry, a depressed local economy and an out-migration of people. If this wasn't enough to deal with, an incredibly cheap, long-lasting, and highly addictive drug has come to town, touching virtually everyone's lives. Journalist Nick Reding reported this story over a period of four years, and he brings us into the heart of the town through an ensemble cast of intimately drawn characters, including: Clay Hallburg, the town doctor, who fights meth even as he struggles with his own alcoholism; Nathan Lein, the town prosecutor, whose case load is filled almost exclusively with meth-related crime, and Jeff Rohrick, who is still trying to kick a meth habit after four years. Methland is a portrait of a community under siege, of the lives the drug has devastated, and of the heroes who continue to fight the war. It will appeal to readers of David Sheff's bestselling Beautiful Boy, and serve as inspiration for those who believe in the power of everyday people to change their world for the better.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ...As I Walk Through the Valley of Meth... chronicles drug related execution style murders, kidnappings, and other crimes that have steadily increased throughout the Mid-Ohio Valley in the middle of the Appalachian Region in spite of the all the efforts of the criminal justice system. The book is based on investigations conducted by state and local narcotic task forces, the Drug Enforcement Administration, along with other federal agencies, and travels through the beginning of drug enforcement in the 1960s and early 70s, and into 2021, the deadliest year ever recorded in West Virginia and the United States for the number of drug related deaths. For well over a half a century, our country has been engaged in a war against illegal and dangerous drugs. The number of Americans who have died far eclipses those lost in any war our country has engaged in. In 2018 alone, more Americans died from drug overdoses than during the entire Vietnam War. Since 1999, nearly 800,000 people in the United States have died easily surpassing the number of those who were killed during the Civil War (620,000), or World War II (407,000). ...As I Walk Through the Valley of Meth... chronicles the efforts to curtail drugs in one area of Appalachia in West Virginia. West Virginia has the highest rate of deaths in the country with 57.8 deaths per 100,000 population.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times Bestseller What if everything you think you know about addiction is wrong? Johann Hari's journey into the heart of the war on drugs led him to ask this question--and to write the book that gave rise to his viral TED talk, viewed more than 62 million times, and inspired the feature film The United States vs. Billie Holiday and the documentary series The Fix. One of Johann Hari's earliest memories is of trying to wake up one of his relatives and not being able to. As he grew older, he realized he had addiction in his family. Confused, not knowing what to do, he set out and traveled over 30,000 miles over three years to discover what really causes addiction--and what really solves it. He uncovered a range of remarkable human stories--of how the war on drugs began with Billie Holiday, the great jazz singer, being stalked and killed by a racist policeman; of the scientist who discovered the surprising key to addiction; and of the countries that ended their own war on drugs--with extraordinary results. Chasing the Scream is the story of a life-changing journey that transformed the addiction debate internationally--and showed the world that the opposite of addiction is connection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ground-level chronicle of the violent drug war in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico—with accounts from both traffickers and law enforcement, and “astute analysis” (The Americas). Thousands die in drug-related violence every year in Mexico. Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, adjacent to El Paso, Texas, has become the most violent city in the drug war. Much of the cocaine, marijuana, and methamphetamine consumed in the United States is imported across the Mexican border, making El Paso/Juárez one of the major drug-trafficking venues in the world. In this anthropological study of drug trafficking and anti-drug law enforcement efforts on the US–Mexico border, Howard Campbell uses an ethnographic perspective to chronicle the recent Mexican drug war, focusing especially on people and events in the El Paso/Juárez area. It is the first social science study of the violent drug war that is tearing Mexico apart. Based on deep access to the drug-smuggling world, this study presents the drug war through the words of direct participants. Half of the book consists of oral histories from drug traffickers, and the other half from law enforcement officials. There is much journalistic coverage of the drug war, but very seldom are the lived experiences of traffickers and “narcs” presented in such vivid detail. In addition to providing an up-close, personal view of this world, Campbell explains and analyzes the functioning of cartels, the corruption that facilitates trafficking, the strategies of smugglers and anti-narcotics officials, and the perilous culture of drug trafficking that Campbell refers to as the “Drug War Zone.” “This collection of oral histories of drug traffickers and counter-drug officials examines the border narco-world through the eyes of first-hand participants . . . An invaluable resource for anyone seeking a greater sociological understanding.” —Journal of Latin American Studies

Book excerpt: Madman, tyrant, animal—history has given Adolf Hitler many names. In Mein Kampf (My Struggle), often called the Nazi bible, Hitler describes his life, frustrations, ideals, and dreams. Born to an impoverished couple in a small town in Austria, the young Adolf grew up with the fervent desire to become a painter. The death of his parents and outright rejection from art schools in Vienna forced him into underpaid work as a laborer. During the First World War, Hitler served in the infantry and was decorated for bravery. After the war, he became actively involved with socialist political groups and quickly rose to power, establishing himself as Chairman of the National Socialist German Worker's party. In 1924, Hitler led a coalition of nationalist groups in a bid to overthrow the Bavarian government in Munich. The infamous Munich "Beer-hall putsch" was unsuccessful, and Hitler was arrested. During the nine months he was in prison, an embittered and frustrated Hitler dictated a personal manifesto to his loyal follower Rudolph Hess. He vented his sentiments against communism and the Jewish people in this document, which was to become Mein Kampf, the controversial book that is seen as the blue-print for Hitler's political and military campaign. In Mein Kampf, Hitler describes his strategy for rebuilding Germany and conquering Europe. It is a glimpse into the mind of a man who destabilized world peace and pursued the genocide now known as the Holocaust.

Book excerpt: Clandestine methamphetamine labs crept into Texas during the latter half of the 20th century, but certain members of the Texas Department of Public Safety's Narcotics Division were hellbent on stopping the malicious tide. Agents Dan Allen and his rookie partner, Kate Starnes, encountered a multi-layered criminal organization operating meth labs in the East Texas piney woods. Dan, in an undercover capacity, infiltrated to the highest levels of the meth clan, while attempting to balance his home life and family responsibilities. The investigation pulled him into a realm of cash, corruption and malevolence. He struggled to partition his two lives, but the lines became distorted. Texas Ranger John Wilson, Dan's former Highway Patrol partner, was called to investigate a double homicide within the same crime syndicate. Forensic evidence lead Ranger Wilson down troubling paths. The Ranger and the Narcotics Agent were about to confront difficult decisions that would forever change their lives.
