Book Review


Deadly Enemies: Tobacco and Its Opponents in Australia. By Ian Tyrrell. (Sydney: University of New South Wales Press, 1999. xiv, 271 pp. Paper, $29.95, ISBN 0-86840-745-3.)

Ian Tyrrell, who teaches at the University of New South Wales, is well known to U.S. historians for his studies of temperance and environmental subjects, often presented with an international perspective. This book, which investigates Australia's relationship with tobacco products, has a similar broadened focus, in this case making comparisons with the course of tobacco-related history in the United States and occasionally England. What readers will find is a balanced yet provocative presentation in which Tyrrell assesses pro- and anti-tobacco forces, personalities, and issues in Australia in ways that also inform our understanding of tobacco-related controversies in the American experience. . . .
