During the Civil War\, the utility a

o wartime medicine. After the war ended\, thousands of ailing soldiers be
came addicted\, or ?enslaved\,? as nineteenth-century Americans phrased i
t. Veterans\, their families\, and communities struggled to cope with add

ral meaning by branding addiction as a matter of moral weakness\, unmanli
ness\, or mental infirmity. Framing addiction as ?opium slavery? limited
the efficacy of care and left many veterans to suffer needlessly for deca
des after the war ended.\n

and medical reports\, newspaper coverage of addiction\, and advertisement
s\, Jonathan S. Jones unearths the poorly understood stories of opiate-ad
dicted Civil War veterans in unflinching detail\, illuminating the war?s
traumatic legacies. In doing so\, Jones provides critical historical cont
ext for the modern opioid crisis\, which bears tragic resemblance to that
