Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic

Sam Quinones's Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic is a masterpiece of investigative journalism that is essential reading for any health care provider whose practice has been affected by opioid abuse and who seeks to understand in detail how the country and legions of communities fell victim to the deadly viselike grip of this drug. In ways that echo the strongest points of And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic, Randy Shilts's 1987 account of the AIDS epidemic, Dreamland serves as a journalistic center of gravity around which the complexities of this current epidemic orbit.
