Jamie Smith’s Trojan Horses is a book for our moment: an honest, original, deeply personal investigation of the opioid crisis that uses edited and anonymized treatment records, first-person accounts, and memoir to reveal both the inadequacy of what documents and statistics can tell us about the crisis and the slipperiness of our hold on what drives and perpetuates it.  It is for those already on the inside, still for now on the outside, or – like many friends and family – somewhere in between.
