520    The story of America's "War on Drugs" usually begins with 
       Richard Nixon or Ronald Reagan. In Containing Addiction, 
       Matthew R. Pembleton argues that its origins instead lie 
       in the years following World War II, when the Federal 
       Bureau of Narcotics - the country's first drug control 
       agency, established in 1930 - began to depict drug control
       as a paramilitary conflict and sent agents abroad to 
       disrupt the flow of drugs to American shores. U.S. 
       policymakers had long viewed addiction and organized crime
       as profound domestic and transnational threats. Yet World 
       War II presented new opportunities to implement drug 
       control on a global scale. Skeptical of public health 
       efforts to address demand, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics
       believed that reducing the global supply of drugs was the 
       only way to contain the spread of addiction. In effect, 
       America applied a foreign policy solution to a domestic 
       social crisis, demonstrating how consistently policymakers
       have assumed that security at home can only be achieved 
       through hegemony abroad. The result is a drug war that 
       persists into the present day. -- from back cover.
