The Cigarette: A Political History

bySarah Milov

From Jamestown to the Marlboro Man, the plant occupied the heart of the nation’s economy and expressed its enduring myths. The Cigarette rests its case on archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events, making room for uncertainty while explaining what the surviving evidence can establish. The Cigarette also examines the assumptions surrounding its subject, connecting them to wider arguments in business & economics and history. The book leaves readers with a clearer understanding of the political history and of the unresolved questions that continue beyond its final chapter.
