      abstract = {Those familiar with the travesty of justice that led to  multiple bogus drug arrests in the small Texas town of  Tulia only from newspaper accounts will be outraged anew at  this eye-opening narrative that bears comparison to such  courtroom and litigation classics as A Civil Action. This  devastating indictment of the toll taken by the war on  drugs, viewed through the prism of one small community, is  a masterpiece of true crime writing. Award-winning reporter  Blakeslee broke the story for the Texas Observer in 2000  and has produced a definitive account, deftly weaving the  history of the growth and decline of Tulia with the stories  of those caught up in the racist frame by narcotics officer  Tom Coleman.},
