Come to hear from Antony Loewenstein, the best-selling investigative journalist who pulls back the curtain on the global war on drugs.

Travelling through Honduras, the Philippines, Guinea-Bissau, the UK, the US and Australia, Loewenstein uncovers the secrets of the drug war - why it’s so hard to end? And who is really profiting from it?

Loewenstein reports on the frontlines across the globe, from the streets of King’s Cross to the killing fields of Central America to major cocaine transit routes in West Africa. How has the war on drugs has become the most deadly war in modern times?

Loewenstein will read from his new book Pills, Powder, and Smoke: Inside the Bloody War on Drugs. Discussants will include ANU experts interviewed by Loewenstein in his Australian chapter Professor Des Manderson and Dr David Caldicott, with Dr Anna Olsen. There will also be an opportunity for questions and answers from the audience.

The Minister for Corrections and Justice Health, Mr Shane Rattenbury MLA will formally do the Canberra launch of the book, which will be followed by book signing.
