Valentine, who is also the author of the definitive story of the US counterintelligence program in Vietnam known as Operation Phoenix (The Phoenix Program), does a thorough job of detailing the crooked and sordid history of the original US agency created to fight the so-called war on drugs. That agency, for those who don’t know the history or have only known the Nixon-created Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), was the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN).Created for fundamentally racist reasons,the FBN was the brainchild of Harry Anslinger-an ambitious law-and-order type guy who devoted his life toprotecting America’s upper classes.Anslinger built he agency based on white Americans fears and, in doing so, changed the society’s perspective on drugs from one where virtually everything was legally available to one where the government tried tocontrol every aspect of drug distribution.It is Anslinger and his agency that is responsible for America’s current conception that drug abuse is a police problem and not one better left to health professionals."
