Synopsis

This book is the first to thoroughly analyze Britain's monopoly over the opium trade in the Far East, exposing the brutal tactics of the British Empire in service of corporate profits. The author uncovers the callous exploitation of colonial peoples, highlighting the horrors of state-sponsored addiction across the globe. With evidence from firsthand accounts, government reports, and contemporary literature, the author argues that Great Britain's relentless pursuit of profit came at a tremendous moral price, and that genuine individual freedom cannot exist when governments are complicit in the rampant suppression of their citizens.
