Steroid Nation gives a great overview of how steroids initially hit mainstream bodybuilding and the world of professional sports. The historical battles of the regulatory agencies versus the users/dealers/manufacturers of steroids is chronicled all the way up until 2007.
It was easy to read, and is very much a history book. However, I wouldn't advise anyone else to read it. Why? I saw the movie "Bigger, Stronger, Faster" and it is almost verbatim with what is in this book. The movie is also much more entertaining. The book advantage is that it definitely has more finer details, such as dates and names.
So read the book if you haven't seen the movie, but otherwise, pick one or the other.Get more detail about Steroid Nation: Juiced Home Run Totals, Anti-aging Miracles, and a Hercules in Every High School: The Secret History of America's True Drug Addiction.
