The Emperors of Chocolate

America's candy empires are some of the world's most secretive businesses—and when Joel Glenn Brenner stepped inside, she discovered a land even stranger than Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Recounting the real-life adventures of corporate giants Forrest Mars (known as the Howard Hughes of candy) and Milton Hershey (a dreamer who wanted to create an industrial paradise), this book dishes royally on Candyland's corporate spies, cutthroat lawyers and paranoid executives and provides a mouthwatering look at our cultures passion for chocolate. From chocolate's earlier image as Pieces instead of M&M's, this is the most deliciously entertaining all-American business story ever told.
