Résumé
A look at how sugar Africanized the cane fields of the Caribbean to how it fuelled the Industrial Revolution and jumpstarted the fast-food revolution. Reveals how powerful American interests deposed Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii, how Hitler tried to ensure a… steady supply of beet sugar when enemies threatened to cut off Germany's supply of overseas cane sugar, and how South Africa established a domestic ethanol industry in the wake of anti-apartheid sugar embargos. Some descriptions of sex, and explicit descriptions of violence. c2008.
