The original publishing date of 1985 provides an interesting perspective on the developments of the drug crisis. It holds a comprehensive look into the geography and interconnected nature of the drug trade and the historical perspective, both in the actually historical and what was "current" at the time of writing, lends itself well to allowing the reader to create their own perspectives on the events that have transpired since the original writing and of whatever the current affairs are. Because of this unique relationship between nonfiction content and reader I feel much more informed on the subject, without feeling influence by the authors opinions. This, in conjugation with the very factual approach of the author, makes a wonderful non-fiction experience.
