Cocaine:
An Unauthorized Biography
by Dominic Streatfeild
Cocaine, writes filmmaker Dominic Streatfeild, "is not some evil spawn
of Satan but simply a commodity." Like other commodities, cocaine has a
history. When the Spanish conquistadors came to South America and observed
that Indians who chewed the leaves of Erythroxylon coca could, it seemed,
march over the tallest mountain or through the densest forest for days
on end, they knew they were onto something. The newcomers took to growing
coca themselves, and in time their product found an audience outside the
continent, with users such as Sigmund Freud, Ernest Shackleton (who "took
Forced March cocaine tablets to Antarctica in 1909 for the energy boost
they gave"), Duke Ellington, and, eventually, half of Hollywood to testify
to its powers. Streatfeild's appropriately rapid narrative takes in such
key moments and players as "the year of cocaine" 1969, when the film Easy
Rider reintroduced the drug to American popular culture, and George Jung,
whose exploits are chronicled in Ted Demme's film Blow, to create a portrait
of the drug that ranges over centuries. Though he supports legalization,
Streatfeild acknowledges the evil and corruption surrounding the trade.
Drawing lessons from history, he also suggests the possibility that "cocaine
will fizzle out in the year 2015 the way it did in the early twentieth
century." At the close of this absorbing book, he adds, "It deserves to."
