Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic by Sam Quinones

4.0

---

I prefer Quinones’ other book, The Least of Us, and think Patrick Keefe’s book Empire of Pain tells the opiate epidemic story a little better re: Sacklers/Purdue Pharma, but the explanation of how the cartels created the heroin epidemic is fascinating and extremely well-told, even if ridiculously depressing. I recommend this book.
