| | | From agriculture to big business, from medicine to politics, "The Cigarette Century" is the definitive account of how smoking came to be so deeply implicated in our culture, science, policy, and law
Annotation:
A social history of cigarette smoking in America and an investigative report into the health issues related to smoking, THE CIGARETTE CENTURY won the distinguished Bancroft Prize for history writing and was a finalist for the 2008 Pulitzer Prize in General Nonfiction. Allan M. Brandt presents well-researched information on a range of medical, political, and business issues relating to this one product, whose global impact is increasing, even as the practice has waned in the U.S.
| Praise| "Allan Brandt, a Harvard professor, has written a history of the cigarette in America....It is a remarkable story, clearly told, astonishingly well-documented...and with a transparent moral motif." 03/17/2007 |
