Now fully updated, the classic account of how a bottle of
sweetened caramel-colored soda water became synonymous with
American capitalism For God, Country and Coca-Cola is the unauthorized history
of the great American soft drink and the company that makes
it. From its origins as a patent medicine in Reconstruction
Atlanta through its rise as the dominant consumer beverage
of the American century, the story of Coke is as unique,
tasty, and effervescent as the drink itself. With vivid
portraits of the entrepreneurs who founded the company-and
of the colorful cast of hustlers, swindlers, ad men, and con
men who have made Coca-Cola the most recognized trademark in
the world-this is business history at its best: in fact,
"The Real Thing."
