8 reviews for Opium Inc

  1. Pragati Bisht –

    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.

  2. 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.

  3. Pranav –

    I was captivated by this book! I learned so much I never knew about the opium trade. Highly recommended!

  4. 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.

  5. 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!

  6. Akshit Singh –

    A decent read, but I found it a little dry. Well-researched, but not the most engaging writing style. Still informative, though.

  7. 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.

  8. Shivam Sharma –

    Disturbing but necessary reading. It can feel overwhelming with information at times, but it is important to understand the past.
