Description

In Intoxicating Manchuria, Norman Smith reveals how huge intoxicant industries were altered by warlord rule, Japanese occupation, and war. Powering the spread of alcohol and opium -- initially heralded as markers of class or modernity and whose use was well documented -- these industries flourished throughout the early twentieth century even as a vigorous anti-intoxicant movement raged.
