“American Overdose” takes tough look at crisis

New books on the opioid epidemic are popping up on shelves with great regularity now. The latest, and one of the most promising, is “American Overdose: The Opioid Tragedy in Three Acts” by Chris McGreal. He is a reporter for the well-regarded UK newspaper and site, The Guardian, and has won several awards for his reporting of the Rwandan genocide, Israel/Palestine, and on the impact of economic recession in America.
