商品簡介
Forrest Mars and Milton Hershey built business empires out of chocolate. In this history of the candy business, over eight years in the making, former Washington Post reporter Joel Glenn Brenner tells a unique story that is like chocolate itself, a rich blend of many compelling ingredients - in this case, biography and cultural history, investigative reporting and literary journalism. Along the way, Brenner takes us inside a world as mysterious as Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory where industrial spies jockey for inside information as paranoid executives fight an all-out war for America's sweet tooth.
