Reviews

"""There is remarkably little written in English on how the U.S.-sponsored international ""war on drugs"" has played out in Argentina. This timely book helps to fill this huge gap, appropriately framing the case in regional comparative perspective."" - Peter Andreas, Brown University, Author of Smuggler Nation: How Illicit Trade Made America ""Cutrona's superbly researched and well written study of drug policies in Argentina is a pioneering work on this understudied subject in the Southern Cone countries and required reading for anyone - the general public, students and specialists alike - interested in the growing problems of drug consumption, drug trafficking, and drug-related crime, violence and corruption in his country."" - Bruce M. Bagley, University of Miami"
