Worldwide cocaine sales generate $92 billion, more than McDonald's, Microsoft and Kellogg's combined. There is no sign that the trade is diminishing.
Dominic Streatfield examines cocaine from its first medical uses thousands of years ago to the worldwide chaos it causes today. From the arcane reaches of the British Library to the isolation cells of America's most secure prisons; from the crack houses of New York to the jungles of Bolivia and Colombia. Along the way he speaks to those involved in the trade: economists, scientists, botanists, lawmen, historians and traffickers.
