From physicians persecuted for providing health care to their patients to parents grieving the loss of their children to overdose or prison -- we've all become victims of this war. </p><p>Our health, our families, our assets, our safety, and our freedom are at risk: </p> <ul> <li>One in three adults in the U.S. now has a criminal record. </li> <li>Patients with severe illnesses or chronic pain are denied access to proven pain medications. </li> <li>Over a trillion in taxpayer dollars in the U.S. alone has 'bought' the highest drug use, the highest overdose and the highest incarceration rates in the world. </li> </ul> <p>In <strong><em>War on Us</em></strong>, Colleen Cowles raises the alarm and offers practical, proven reforms. There are answers, as long as we have the will to implement change. <strong>It's time to end the War on Drugs -- and the war on all of us. This book is the roadmap to do just that. </strong></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<em><strong>War on Us</strong></em> is a remarkably comprehensive, evidence-based examination of the war on drugs and all of its victims. The book is personal and accessible, well-researched, contains excellent source material and, most importantly, provides a blueprint for reform. I highly recommend this book to anyone concerned about the increasing toll of death and destruction resulting from America's longest war."<br /> -- Jeffrey A. Singer, MD, Senior Fellow, Cato Institute</p> <p>" A must-read for parents, educators, taxpayers, decision makers, criminal justice professionals and healthcare providers and patients. Author Colleen Cowles shares her knowledge as a researcher, attorney and mother with lived experience. "<br /> -- Gretchen Burns Bergman, Co-Founder / Executive Director of A New PATH and Lead Organizer of Moms United to End the War on Drugs</p> <p>"A marvelous compendium of the ills of and possible pathways out of our misconceived and deadly War on Drugs. This book is highly readable, engaging, fast-paced and covers a breathtaking amount of ground." <br /> -- Daniel N. Abrahamson, former director of legal affairs and senior legal advisor at the Drug Policy Alliance, and a law school lecturer on drug law and policy</p> <p>"A compelling look behind the scenes on the United States 'War on Drugs' and the ensuing humanitarian crisis facing those living with chronic disease and addiction."<br /> -- Lauren Deluca, President, CIAAG (Chronic Illness Advocacy & Awareness Group)</p> <p>"As a retired police detective, I've personally seen the effects of the War on Drugs. Colleen Cowles has captured the day-to-day agony created by this war, for citizens as well as for law enforcement. In one book, she gives the reader valuable insight into the history, the effects, the obstacles to change, and logical alternatives to the war on drugs, and solutions to address the addiction and overdose epidemic that's killing our kids and destroying our neighborhoods." <br /> -- Howard Wooldridge, Citizen's Opposing Prohibition (COPS), retired police detective, co-founder of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition </p> <p>"With lively prose and convincing quotes and statistics, Colleen Cowles presents a sometimes-shocking history of the politics behind 'getting tough on drugs' and identifies the many collateral victims of the war, including pain and cancer patients, heartbroken parents, minority communities, intimidated doctors and overburdened taxpayers. She then offers reasoned, logical alternatives to incarceration as a way to solve the massive problems created unintentionally--and sometimes intentionally--by the war on drugs."<br /> -- Jo Ann Skousen, Professor, Chapman University; Founding director, Anthem Libertarian Film Festival; Associate producer, FreedomFest </p><br>
