Opium Inc. does a great job diving into the details. The long-term consequences are hard to ignore. It’s a must-read for history buffs.
Md Jeeshan Abrar –
A grim story, powerfully told. Thomas Manuel exposes the shocking exploitation. It’s very detailed. A little slow in parts, but stick with it.
Pranav –
I was captivated by this book! I learned so much I never knew about the opium trade. Highly recommended!
Kunal Sukhija –
Eye-opening! I had no idea the extent of the opium trade’s impact. At times the writing felt a little dry, but overall, informative and important.
Jaipal Kumar –
Opium Inc. is a well-researched, if unsettling, account of the East India Company. Heavy on details, sometimes losing narrative flow. I learned a lot!
Akshit Singh –
A decent read, but I found it a little dry. Well-researched, but not the most engaging writing style. Still informative, though.
Yash Tailor –
A disturbing look at the opium trade. Manuel doesn’t shy from the brutal realities. It can be a bit dense at times, but worth reading.
Shivam Sharma –
Disturbing but necessary reading. It can feel overwhelming with information at times, but it is important to understand the past.
