As such, this is a significant and welcome contribution to our understanding of opium production in Afghanistan, and to our understanding of why the global prohibition has failed. -- Pierre-Arnaud Chouvy, Centre national de le recherche scientifique, and author of <I>Opium</I> James Tharin Bradford, by analyzing an important yet neglected period in the history of Afghanistan and global drug control, has written a book of high quality and originality. -- James Windle, University College Cork, and author of <I>Suppressing Illicit Opium Production</I> The book is well-written and a major contribution to an important but often forgotten aspect of Afghanistan. * Choice * Poppies, Politics, and Power fills a notable gap in studies of Afghanistan, and does it very well. The author makes admirable use of his sources to bolster a credible and interesting line of argument. In doing so, he contributes to a growing literature which challenges older accounts of state formation in Afghanistan that understate both Afghan agency, and the powerful effects of interactions between actors in Afghanistan and players in the wider world, all with objectives of their own to realize. * PACIFIC AFFAIRS * Author InformationJames Tharin Bradford is Assistant Professor of History at Berklee College of Music, and Adjunct Lecturer at Babson College. He has published in the Journal of Iranian Studies, Oxford University Handbook of Drug History, and Illegal Cannabis Cultivation in the World.
