Drugging A Nation: The Story Of China And The Opium Curse by Samuel Merwin is a historical account of the opium trade in China during the 19th century. The book highlights how the British East India Company used opium to gain control over China's economy and how it led to the downfall of the Qing dynasty. Merwin also delves into the social and economic impact of opium addiction on the Chinese population, including the loss of productivity, the rise of crime, and the spread of disease. The book explores the efforts of Chinese reformers and the international community to combat the opium curse and the eventual success of the Chinese government in eradicating opium addiction. Overall, Drugging A Nation is a well-researched and informative book that sheds light on a dark chapter in China's history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
