Customer Reviews

Gin took London by storm in the first half of the 18th cetury. It was the 'original urban drug.' 'Cheap, potent and readily available', It aided London's poor in escaping the wretchedness of their lives and was considered a public menace by Defoe and Johnson. In this book the author gives us the whole story of Gin.
