Compelling story. Would be a lot easier to follow if author were clearer on relative dates. (How long after the 1939 threat was the first bust? The later SF bust? The final hospitalization?)
Note the author, Johann Hari, has had some issues with accuracy and attribution in the past, and some argue that even his recent work is sloppy with quotes for dramatic purposes (http://www.jeremy-duns.com/blog/2014/9/7/kdgwxcbsned1rknh0h3zdvqrebxa3x http://www.jeremy-duns.com/blog/2014/9/7/kdgwxcbsned1rknh0h3...).
- refurb 12y agoThanks for posting that. The story is compelling, but without sources for quotes and more details, I'm left wondering how much of it was "artist embellishment". There are enough factual stories about the war on drugs that will make your stomach turn. There is no need to "spice up" the story.
