Drugging A Nation: The Story Of China And The Opium Curse is a non-fiction book written by Samuel Merwin. The book provides a detailed account of China’s struggle with opium addiction during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author explores the historical, social, and economic factors that contributed to the country’s opium epidemic, as well as the efforts made by Chinese officials to combat the problem. Merwin also delves into the role played by foreign powers, particularly Great Britain, in the spread of opium addiction in China. The book is based on extensive research and provides a comprehensive overview of the opium curse in China, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of drug addiction and its impact on society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
