Summary:

"In 1990 a laboratory in Charlotte, North Carolina discovered that Perrier water contained traces of benzene. Although it was later proved that the naturally occurring traces had not been filtered out due to a human error, the company never recovered its credibility in the United States. The size and scope of the hysteria surrounding the discovery caused some people to wonder who organized the analysis of the Perrier in the first place. Who told the press? Guillaume Dasquié, author of a book on the subject of secret corporate practices, claimed that between 1980 and 1989 the growth of Perrier threatened US superpower Coca-Cola. Taking off from there the author of this book construes a plot from Atlanta to bring down its competition. Full of citations from people on the inside he makes his case convincingly and with biting humor, prefacing his entire exposé with Jonathan Swift's Instructions to Domestic Servants. In French."-- provided by distributor.
