A fascinating look at cocaine and opium use in Britain after the First World War. Flappers, racism, sexism, the night-crawl society of Shaftesbury Avenue and Chinatown, suicides and sexual menace. It's quite a read and exposes how fear about sex, race, and class led to the criminalization of drugs.

This was a good read. It shows how easy you can get access to drugs as well as getting caught up in it.
