Drugs in America: A Social History, 1800-1980 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780815622826)

This is a history of drugs and drug use in America. It provides a review of what is now a prominent feature of American culture, and it analyses the interplay between drugs, drug use, and society. Morgan's approach is chronological, covering an age of heroic therapy, the therapeutic revolution of the post-Civil War years, the moral fervour of the Progressive era and, finally, today's bewilderment.
