Deborah Cadbury tells the story of her own family history. For generations British chocolatemakers were in competition with the likes of Hershey and Mars. Cadbury were literally last man standing but now they too have been eaten by a bigger company Kraft, and the original ethics, eccentricities and vision of the Quaker family who began making chocolate nearly 200 years ago are fast disappearing..
More than a biography of a business, the Chocolate Wars is an important piece of social history.
