Now in Paperback: Rum by Ian Williams | Amazon.com
Rum is more than just a delicious drink - it helped to shape the modern world. Ian Williams's book, Rum, as biting, multifaceted, and warm-spirited as the drink itself - triumphantly restores rum's rightful place in history, taking us across space and time, from its origins in the plantations of Barbados through Puritan and Revolutionary New England, to Voodoo rites in modern Haiti and across the Florida straits where Fidel and the Bacardi family are still fighting over the rights to the ingredients for a Cuba Libre.
