A harrowing, uncompromising masterpiece of American documentary photojournalism, Cocaine True, Cocaine Blue provides a look into the devastating impact of the crack cocaine epidemic across Philadelphia and New York City during the early 1990s. Combining Eugene Richards' bold, close-range black-and-white photography with raw audio transcriptions from users, dealers, and law enforcement, the book serves as a vital, sobering archive of systemic neglect and human fragility.
