"When [Powell] briefed me, I found there was something about the quiet, efficient way he laid everything out and answered questions that reduced my fears and gave me great confidence. I admired his thoroughness, and above all his concern for his troops--something that came through again and again in planning for Desert Storm and during our humanitarian operations in Somalia." (George Bush, A World Transformed, page 23) Colin Powell served as National Security Advisor to President Ronald Reagan (1987-1989) and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1989-1993, during the George H.W. Bush administration. Provenance: Potomac Auction House, Lot 1275, Estate of Colin Powell, 2022.

New York: Farrar, Straus and Company, 1964. First Edition. Very Good/Good+. First edition, first printing. Signed by Harry Anslinger on the front free endpaper and warmly inscribed to the recipient. xii, 244 pp. Bound in publisher's black paper-covered boards over oatmeal spine cloth stamped in black and red. Very Good with light rubbing and edge fading to covers, discoloration to rear joint, and bumping to rear board corners. Topstain a little scuffed and faded at gutter. In a Good+ unclipped dust jacket with sunned spine panel, light edgewear, moderate foxing and soiling, and two tape repairs to verso. Signed copies are rare. Harry Anslinger is the man who invented the "War on Drugs," a core element of American domestic policy for almost a century. He ran the Federal Bureau of Narcotics from its inception in 1930 to his retirement in 1962, through five presidential administrations. Some have compared his influence to that of his rival FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, although Anslinger was much less well known. Anslinger actively pursued cases of mafia-related drug-trafficking, whereas Hoover was insistent that no such thing as the mafia existed. Anslinger efforts against marijuana, which he at one point declared the most dangerous drug in the world, led to the drug's ban in 1937. He associated both marijuana and heroin with jazz music, which he despised, and relentlessly pursued the singer Billie Holiday. Throughout his career, he insisted that “strong laws, good enforcement, stiff sentences and a proper hospitalization program” were the solution to the problem of narcotics abuse. His legacy endures today.
