[Jeffrey Dhywood · Rating 4 out of 5]

Unless you are into statistics, this book might very well feel quite dry, it is nonetheless an important about drug policy and the manipulation of information - or propaganda in plain English. In short: you can massage numbers to say whatever your wish if you are a good number-masseur. I bet you already knew that.
