From the Dust Jacket: "Drawing on previously untapped archival sources, FOR GOD, COUNTRY AND COCA-COLA paints vivid portraits of the entrepreneurs who led the Company: pious Methodist Asa Candler... Robert Woodruff... Roberto Goizueta... FOR GOD, COUNTRY AND COCA-COLA is a cultural, social and economic history of America as seen through the green glass of a Coke bottle… Here, too, is a colorful supporting cast of hustlers, swindlers, ad men, and con men who have made the soft drink the most recognizable trademark in the world. The underside of Coca-Cola is also here: shady legal proceedings, cozy arrangements with politicians, brutal treatment of competitors and Third World workers... For God, Country and Coca-Cola reveals how Coke has irrevocably transformed our world.". First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover.

Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well.
