: 16, 1992

Crack cocaine is one of the most dangerous illegal drugs ever to reach Britain. The intense pleasure it gives soon leads to addiction, and a deadly spiral of depression and destructiveness. Tom Mangold 's investigation reveals that the first signs of the long-expected crack epidemic have now surfaced in Britain. This extended edition includes front-line reports from the cocaine cartel's hide-outs in the Colombian jungle, from an anti-narcotics patrol in the Caribbean, and from the streets of Nottingham and London.
