Why does the administration continue to follow a drug policy of criminalization and enforcement? In this probing volume, Johns demonstrates that while the War on Drugs has been a failure in some respects, it has been highly successful in others--it has diverted attention from severe social problems, legitimated the virtual abandonment of the lower class, legitimated a vast expansion of U.S. state power and a consequent erosion of civil liberties, and furthered projections of U.S. power into Latin America. This book changes a trend in the literature by unmasking the real consequences of the Drug War.

While much has been written on illicit drug use, policy, and drugs' relationship to crime, this study examines the drug war as most Americans have experienced it--through mass-mediated rhetoric: presidential drug war declarations, news stories and hype, public service announcements, and the like. Such rhetoric influences public opinion about illegal drugs, drug users, presidents, and the drug war itself. And according to this author, such rhetoric is also used as a public relations campaign designed to increase the popularity of government officials and to assure quiescence regarding particular policy programs. This study demonstrates the underestimated influence of rhetoric, political uses of public relations and the powerful influence they have on public opinion and the policy process.
