Place reservation for Opium : how an ancient flower shaped and poisoned our worldIn 2017 over 60,000 Americans died as the result of opioid overdoses, more than died annually in this country during the peak of the AIDs epidemic, more than die every year from breast cancer, and more Americans than died in the entire Vietnam War. But even though the overdose crisis ravaging our nation seems impossible to ignore, few understand how it came to be. This title tells the extraordinary and at times harrowing story of how we arrived at today's crisis.
