Sugar's colourful past through the eyes of a CSR 'lifer'

摘要

Anyone who has been part of the Australian sugar industry over the past half century should get a copy of Bill Oliver's wonderfully entertaining book Sugar in the Blood. Normally the prospect of reading about the life and times of a career CSR man and former Central Board member would excite me as much as an invitation to spend a day scrubbing down a mill barracks during the Christmas closedown. But this is not your typical hard-going industry history. It is a rarity - a sugar book that holds your interest from start to finish.
