Editor's Note:
Shooting Up is a peculiar history of the 'highs' of war. It explores the ways in which the military has made most of various kinds of intoxicants from antiquity to the 21st century. The book examines drugs issued to soldiers by armed forces not only for medicinal pur¬poses but--most crucially--to boost performance, raise courage, and alleviate stress and fear. It also looks at psychoactive substances 'self-prescribed' by combatants, taken for self-medication and recreation. Finally, the book covers intoxicants used as a tool of war, either as a feasible non-lethal psychochemical weapon or as a means of subversion. By discussing the risks of the practice of intoxication for fighting power, military discipline and veterans' lives, it vividly demonstrates that the military use of drugs brings mixed blessings and curses. From hallucinogenic mushrooms to ecstasy; from Homeric warriors to the present-day, Shooting Up tells the largely untold story of how drugs have sustained warriors through the centuries and will fuel future war in strange and remarkable ways.
