About the Author

Steven B. Duke is a distinguished legal scholar and professor emeritus at Yale Law School, where he spent decades illuminating the intersections of law, policy, and society. With a career dedicated to challenging conventional wisdom on criminal justice, Duke has authored numerous articles and books that critique the excesses of government overreach. His seminal work, America's Longest War: Rethinking Our Tragic Crusade Against Drugs, offers a compelling analysis of the War on Drugs as a protracted failure, advocating for reform through evidence-based policy and historical perspective. Drawing from his extensive experience in constitutional law and drug policy, Duke's writing bridges academic rigor with accessible prose, urging readers to reconsider entrenched narratives on prohibition and its societal costs. A vocal proponent of libertarian principles, he continues to influence debates on civil liberties and regulatory reform.
