From the bestselling author of Good Cop Bad War, Neil Woods, comes the first single history of Britain's War on Drugs.
Neil Woods (Author)
Neil Woods spent fourteen years (1993-2007) infiltrating drug gangs
as an undercover police officer - befriending and gaining the trust
of some of the most violent, unpredictable criminals in Britain.
With the insight that can only come from having fought on its front
lines, Neil came to see the true futility of the War on Drugs -
that it demonises those who need help, and only empowers the very
worst elements in society. Neil is on the board of LEAP (Law
Enforcement Action Partnership) in the US and is the Chair of LEAP
in the UK. LEAP is an organisation made up exclusively of law
enforcement professionals, past and present, who campaign for drug
law reforms. He has also starred in Channel 4 Drugs Live.
J S Rafaeli (Author)
J S Rafaeli is a writer and musician based in London. He is the
author of 'Live at the Brixton Academy', and a frequent contributor
to Vice
Anyone who cares about Britain should read this extraordinary and
riveting book. It will change how you see our country - and lots of
things that seemed strange will start to make sense.
*Johann Hari*
If you want to understand how Britain succumbed to a self-defeating
war on drugs benefiting only the most vicious gangsters, this book
is the perfect primer with its highly-readable fusion of analysis,
history and first person testimonies from the front line.
*Ian Birrell*
