" --B.J. Novak, writer for THE OFFICE "Check out Johann Hari's extraordinary new book Chasing the Scream , one of the best books I've ever read about the world of drugs." --Touré, MSNBC "Breath-taking . A powerful contribution to an urgent debate." --John Harris, The Guardian "A riveting book." -- San Francisco Chronicle " Chasing the Scream vividly paints the war on drugs as the century-long bad LSD trip that it is; in doing so it sticks a big nail in its coffin." --Ioan Grillo, author of EL NARCO "This book is an entertainment, a great character study, and page-turning story-telling all rolled into one very sophisticated and compelling cry for social justice.

" --Stephen Downing, former deputy chief, LAPD "Johann Hari has written a drug policy reform book like no other. Many have studied, or conducted, the science surrounding the manifold ills of drug prohibition. But Hari puts it all into riveting story form, and humanizes it . Chasing the Scream is beautifully wrought: lively, humorous, and poignant. And, it's a compelling case for why the drug war must end, yesterday." --Norman Stamper, former chief of the Seattle Police "Hari has made a stimulating hybrid of a book--simultaneously a readable history of the war on drugs and a powerful case for radical reform." -- Publishers Weekly "A compassionate and humane argument to overturn draconian drug policies." -- Kirkus Reviews.
