Synopsis:

The American Disease is a classic study of the development of drug laws in the U.S. Supporting the theory that Americans' attitudes toward drugs have followed a cyclic pattern of tolerance and restraint, author David Musto examines the relations between public outcry and the creation of prohibitive drug laws from the end of the Civil. War to the present day. Originally published in 1973, with an expanded edition in 1987, this third edition covers the renewed debate on policy and drug legislation from the end of the Reagan administration to the present Clinton administration.
