The Real Ones: Four Generations of the First Family of Coca-ColaMore than one hundred years ago, Atlanta druggist Asa G. Candler found gold in an obscure patent medicine called Coca-Cola. He immediately launched what was to become the greatest marketing success in history. Did Coca-Cola have cocaine in it, and does it still? This book answers that and much more. Also told is the intimate story of Coca-Cola's founding family. Full of never-before-revealed family memories and documents, here is the account of the Candlers' great cola empire, and the power and the influence they wielded behind the scenes. From bishops to scoundrels, from saints to sinners, here are pauses that refresh in the effervescent lives of Coca-Cola's first family, The Real Ones. |
