Description
Ashes to Ashes is a monumental history of the American tobacco industry’s ironic success in developing the cigarette, modern society’s most widespread instrument of self-destruction, into the nation’s most profitable consumer product. The book vividly portrays the generations of entrepreneurial geniuses behind the cigarette industry, their cunning business strategies, marketing dazzle, and political power plays. At the center of this epic is the continuing drama of the Philip Morris Company and its transformation of the Marlboro brand. The narrative spans America’s cigarette history, from rampant hucksterism to the Surgeon General’s Report in 1964, and the subsequent clashes between the industry and public-health forces.
