Podnětný příběh o Freudově užívání kokainu, jeho vlivu na Freudovu práci, vztahu mezi kokainem a psychiatrií a o počátcích "války proti drogám". Než mladého Sigmunda Freuda napadlo posadit pacienty na pohovku, dával si kokain. V zoufalé touze rychle získat reputaci si přečetl a bez pochybností přijal tvrzení americké farmaceutické společnosti Parke-Davis o jejím novém "zázračném léku", kokainu. Objednal si gram, a přestože léta tvrdil, že není návykový, první dávka ho přivedla k další a další, a tak si na něj vypěstoval závislost, která trvala celkem patnáct let. Tato kniha, která zasazuje jeho kokainové experimenty do tradice introspektivního užívání drog, k níž patřili William James, Aldous Huxley, Havelock Ellis a Timothy Leary, zkoumá jeho vliv na Freudovo pozdější myšlení a následný vztah mezi psychologií, psychiatrií, drogami a kulturou. Zahrnuje také analýzu moderního obchodu s kokainem. Vzhledem k tomu, že i prezident Obama, který sám v minulosti kokain užíval, uznává oprávněnost zpochybňování globální "války proti drogám", je kniha, kterou držíte v ruce, aktuální a skrytou historií toho, jak tato válka začala.

"This book tells the real story of abortion in America, one that captures a disturbing reality of sometimes insurmountable barriers put in front of women trying to exercise their legal rights to medical services. Without the efforts of an unheralded army of doctors, nurses, social workers, activists, and volunteers, what is a legal right would be meaningless for the almost one million people per year who get abortions. There is a better way--treating abortion like any other form of health care--but the United States is a long way from that ideal"--
