- Synopsis
- David T. Courtwright offers an original interpretation of a puzzling chapter in American social and medical history: the dramatic change in the pattern of opiate addiction--from respectable upper-class matrons to lower-class urban males, often with a criminal record. Dark Paradise tells the story not only from the standpoint of legal and medical sources, but also from the perspective of addicts themselves.
