Stanton A. Glantz, PhD

The Golden Holocaust, is well worth reading

The University of California Press just published Robert Proctor's new history of the tobacco industry, The Golden Holocaust.  It is the first history to draw heavily on the tobacco industry documents and provides many new insights.

I (and several of our fellows and staff) had an opportunity to review and critique an advanced draft of the book and met with Robert several times to offer feedback.  We all found the book a great read.  There was lots in it that I did not know.

Everyone working on tobacco control should read this book.
