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. 000453531 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000453531 60010 $$aColeman, Thomas Roland. 000453531 650_0 $$aDrug traffic$$xInvestigation$$zTexas$$zTulia. 000453531 650_0 $$aFalse imprisonment$$zTexas$$zTulia. 000453531 650_0 $$aTrials (Narcotic laws)$$zTexas$$zSwisher County. 000453531 650_0 $$aJudicial error$$zTexas$$zSwisher County. 000453531 650_0 $$aPolice corruption$$zTexas$$zTulia. 000453531 651_0 $$aTulia (Tex.)$$xRace relations. 000453531 651_0 $$aTulia (Tex.)$$xHistory. 000453531 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBlakeslee, Nate, 1970-$$tTulia.$$b1st ed.$$dNew York : Public Affairs, 2005$$z9781586482190$$w(DLC) 2005049220$$w(OCoLC)60705704 000453531 8520_ $$bacq 000453531 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000453531 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=684181$$zOnline Access 000453531 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:453531$$pGLOBAL_SET 000453531 980__ $$aEBOOK 000453531 980__ $$aBIB 000453531 982__ $$aEbook 000453531 983__ $$aOnline
