About the book

"Chocolate on Trial: Slavery, Politics, and the Ethics of Business recounts the events surrounding the libel trial in which Cadbury Bros. sued the Standard of London over the newspaper's accusation that the firm was hypocritical in its use of slave-grown cocoa. Lowell J. Satre's story probes the issues of globalization, corporate social responsibility, journalistic sensationalism, and devious diplomacy at a time when Western industrialized society was beginning to ask whether some cheap goods might not have too high a cost." "Based on meticulous research, Chocolate on Trial is the first book about a landmark trial that laid bare the interplay of politics, labor, and social activism in the wake of imperialism and the globalizing economy."--BOOK JACKET
