How America's Drug War Became China's Weapon

America built the tools - TOR, cryptocurrency, dark markets - then lost control of the trade it once dominated. Volume 2 traces the reversal from Vietnam-era heroin networks to the fentanyl crisis, then examines the biological frontier: PCR, genomics, and mandated intervention without full disclosure.

Absolute Power: The Reversal is Volume 2 of the Absolute Power trilogy - investigative narrative nonfiction for readers of Tim Weiner, Annie Jacobsen, and Alfred McCoy. Every major claim sourced. Speculative sections labeled. Angry but controlled.
