Summary

A history of Coca-Cola which in turn reflects American enterprise. Invented as a patent medicine with a cocaine kick, Coca-Cola is now 99 per cent sugar water, the world's most distributed product, available in over 185 countries and a far cry from its chance invention by a morphine addict.

For God, Country and Coca-Cola by Mark Pendergrast

Mark Pendergrast's history is a microcosm of American enterprise. Invented as a patent medicine with a cocaine kick, Coca-Cola is today 99 percent sugar water, the world's most distributed product, available in over 185 countries, more than the membership of the United Nations. All a far cry from the chance invention of Dr. John Smith Pemberton, a morphine addict in Atlanta, Georgia, just over a century ago.
