Pop: Truth and Power at the Coca-Cola Company - Tapa blanda

Coca-Cola is the world's best-known brand, and perhaps the most quintessentially American one: a beverage with no nutritional value, sold as a remedy, a tonic and a refreshment. This book examines the 116-year history of Coke by describing the charismatic, driven men who, generation after generation, made Coke the world's best-known brand.
