Vodka pioneer Pyotr Smirnov is one the most fascinating salesmen
and entrepeneurs the world has ever known, and his life as
recreated by Linda Himelstein, set against the Russia of Tolstoy
and tsars, is a stirring chronicle of ambition and innovation that
has fascinating parallels to the post-communist Russia of today.
Plumbing recently unearthed archives and mountains of primary
sources, Himelstein has uncovered a rich historical record. In
prose that's vivid and assured, she takes the reader beyond the
formation of one of the oldest brands in business history and into
the personal lives of the Smirnov family and the tumultuous events
that lead to the Revolution. Authoritative, illuminating, and
deeply engrossing, "The King of Vodka" is a monumental work of
history.
