Description
The crack epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s remains one of the least examined crises in American history. Journalist Donovan X. Ramsey offers a vivid and frank account of this period, tracing the path from the last triumphs of the Civil Rights Movement to the devastating realities of today. Through a cast of characters, Ramsey sheds light on the dramatic rise and fall of the epidemic, and the long-lasting impact it has had on communities.
