Book Synopsis
The domestic phase of America's war on drugs has received considerable criticism over the years. Until recently, however, most critics have not stressed the damage of the international phase to America's Latin American neighbors. That lack of attention has begun to change and Ted Carpenter chronicles the disenchantment with the hemispheric drug war. Some prominent Latin American political leaders have finally dared to criticize Washington while at the same time, the U.S. government seems determined to perpetuate, if not intensify, the anti-drug crusade. Spending on federal anti-drug measures also continues to increase, and the tactics employed by drug war bureaucracy, both in America and abroad, bring the inflammatory 'drug war' metaphor close to reality. Ending the prohibitionist system would produce numerous benefits for both Latin American societies and the United States. In a book deriving from his work at the CATO Institute, Ted Carpenter paints a picture of this ongoing fiasco.
