ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Chasing the Scream by Johann Hari embarks on a global journey to unravel the origins of the war on drugs, focusing on the pivotal and largely forgotten figure of Harry Anslinger. Through extensive research and compelling personal stories, the book examines how this decades-long conflict began and the devastating impact it has had on individuals and communities worldwide. Hari delves into the lives of drug users, dealers, and policymakers, exploring the complex forces that have shaped drug policy and the profound human cost of prohibition. The narrative weaves together history, psychology, and social analysis to challenge conventional understandings of addiction and the drug crisis.
