For God, Country and Coca-Cola: The Unauthorized History of the great American Soft Drink and the company that makes it - Softcover
Synopsis
Mark Pendergrast's history is a microcosm of American enterprise. Invented as a patent medicine with a cocaine kick, Coca-Cola is today 99 percent sugar water, the world's most distributed product, available in over 185 countries, more than the membership of the United Nations. All a far cry from the chance invention of Dr. John Smith Pemberton, a morphine addict in Atlanta, Georgia, just over a century ago.

556 S. und 24 S. mit sw.-Fotos. Zustand: gut. hinterer Deckel etw. knickspurig, Standschnitt leicht geschwärzt, Kopfschnitt leicht gebräunt, mit geringen Gebrauchsspuren. - Invented just over a hundred years ago in America as a cocainelaced patent medicine, Coca-Cola (now minus the cocaine) has succeeded beyond the wildest dreams of its inventor. But in this incredible story of how a soft drink came to be regarded as "the sublimated essence of all that America stands for", For God, Country and Coca-Cola tarnishes that gilded image, revealing back-room political deals, cosy arrangements with the US government and the World Bank, black market trades of Coke for money and sex, and brutal treatment of competitiors, migrant workers and Third World Coca-Cola labourers - and finally, how the universal flood of Coke has irrevocably changed world culture.
