[ED: Hardcover], [PU: PLUTO PR], Everyone knows that Afghanistan is the center of the worlds heroin trade. Afghanistans poppy fields produce more heroin than all other countries combined. Most accounts of the drugs trade concentrate on the impact of trafficking on the West. Yet the truth is that drug addiction is also a problem within Afghanistan. This book explores the devastating impact that the drugs trade has had on the Afghan people.Author David Macdonald has worked as a drugs adviser to the UN and the Ministry of Counter Narcotics in Afghanistan for several years. Based on his extensive experience, this book breaks down the myths surrounding the cultivation, production and consumption of drugs, providing a detailed analysis of the history of drug use within the country. He examines the impact of over 25 years of continuous war and conflict, and shows how continuing poverty and instability have led to an increase in drugs consumption. He considers the recent rise in the use of pharmaceutical drugs, resulting in dangerous chemical cocktails. Macdonald also analyzes the effect of Afghanistans drug trade on neighbouring countries.320 pages - 215 x 135mm / 1 mapVersandfertig in über 4 Wochen, [SC: 0.00]<
