Fight Back [Paperback]

Michael Levine (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 3, 1991

Fight Back, designed by Michael Levine, one of the most effective narcotic agents in drug war history and the author of NY Times bestseller Deep, is a tactical anti-drug manual for families, communities and schools. Called “the only drug plan ever to come out of America that made any sense” (Swedish Carnegie Institute), the plan—unlike the, now, $1 trillion war on drugs—has proven itself effective wherever employed. Michael’s challenge continues to be: “Give me the worst drug blighted neighborhood with citizens willing to join together to Fight Back and I will give you a drug free community.”

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Recent books--notably Vincent T. Bugliosi's Drugs in America ( LJ 8/91) and Daniel Benjamin and Roger Miller's Undoing Drugs ( LJ 9/1/91)--have addressed the failed federal "War on Drugs," and suggested policy changes to help win the war. Former DEA agent Levine takes a different approach, showing how ordinary citizens can fight the war themselves. Levine advocates action against the drug users (not the dealers, which could be dangerous), because if there is no demand or use, dealers will go elsewhere. Levine has no sympathy for users, and the acts he recommends--such as warning signs, peer pressure, stare tactics, and some more extreme--are designed to make them stop or at least take their drug use elsewhere. There are some stern measures here, but Levine knows the extent of the drug problem firsthand; an extremely affecting part, telling how to deal with drug use by family members, recounts his experiences within his own family. Fight Back is highly recommended for all collections.
