About this title

Synopsis

A History of Cocaine: The Mystery of Coca Java & the Kew Plant sheds light into the early history of the cocaine industry when cocaine was a legal drug manufactured by major pharmaceutical companies.
This book contains annotated translations of three rare, previously untranslated, late nineteenth and early twentieth century books on the chemistry, botany and economics of the cocaine industry, with emphasis on the little known role of Netherlands and Indonesia.
