Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Edition. 464 pages including notes, index, black and white photographic plates and illustrations. "In spite of recent well-publicized seizures of massive shipments of heroin from Southeast Asia, heroin continues to flood the country, spreading into every level of this society and shredding the fabric of everyday life. U.S. government estimates of the number of addicts has leaped from 315,000 in 1969 to over 560,000 in 1972. This book puts all the pieces of this ghastly puzzle together, and then maps the possible avenues out of the horror, suggesting that America may have to choose between our commitments in Southeast Asia and getting heroin out of our high schools." - from dust jacket. Moderate wear. Book clean and unmarked. Small closed tear to dust jacket. Nice copy.

First edition. First edition. Signed by Alfred W. McCoy on the half title, inscribed to military historian Shelby Stanton, Sept. 11 1985. Stanton's bookplates on front free endpaper; his stamp on half title as well. xii, [ii], 464 pp. Bound in publisher's red cloth with gilt and white lettering. Very Good with tape stains to boards, slightly bumped corners, in a dust jacket with strip of offsetting from a jacket protector, otherwise in nice shape. The American historian's best-known work, a parapolitical expose of CIA participation in drug trafficking in southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, and a chronicle of the global shift of opium production from Turkey to the Golden Triangle. Quite uncommon signed.
