Opium, Empire and the Global Political Economy; A Study of the Asian Opium Trade (Asia's Transformations)

Editorial Reviews
Nigel South, University of Essex
"A very important argument with implications beyond the social history of drugs, into the broader history of the founding of empire."

Review
Going beyond opium's role on the creation of empire, Trocki seeks to establish a global role for what was perhaps the most notorious commodity of the ninteenth and twentieth centuries. Pacific Affairs: Winter 2001-2002 .
... for those interested in the development of imperialism or capitalism, it is certainly a worthwhile read and suitable for undergraduate teaching. Pacific Affairs: Winter 2001-2002 .
A very important argument with implications beyond the social history of drugs, into the broader history of the founding of empire.
