Synopsis
The cigarette is the deadliest artifact in the history of human civilization. It is also one of the most beguiling, thanks to more than a century of manipulation at the hands of tobacco industry chemists. In Golden Holocaust , Robert N. Proctor draws on reams of formerly-secret industry documents to explore how the cigarette came to be the most widely-used drug on the planet, with six trillion sticks sold per year. He paints a harrowing picture of tobacco manufacturers conspiring to block the recognition of tobacco-cancer hazards, even as they ensnare legions of scientists and politicians in a web of denial. Proctor tells heretofore untold stories of fraud and subterfuge, and he makes the strongest case to date for a simple yet ambitious remedy: a ban on the manufacture and sale of cigarettes.

- s***e (456)- 買家留下的信用評價。過去 1 個月購買已獲認證Another book from an excellent seller at a reasonable price with great customer service, good communication and fast ship. I have researched the author, Joe Hill, as he is new to me. His reviews rave about his great modernistic style and scary stories that stay with you long after you read them. So far all his books I have looked at seem to hit the mark. Hope I have another favorite author to add to my list. Thanks!
