About this book

Martini, Straight Up: The Classic American Cocktail by Edmunds, Professor Lowell. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780801859717.

From its contested origins in nineteenth-century California; through its popularity among the smart set of the 1930s, world leaders of the 1940s, and the men in the gray flannel suits of the 1950s; to its resurgence among todays retro-hipsters: Lowell Edmunds traces the history and cultural significance of the cocktail H. L. Mencken called "the only American invention as perfect as a sonnet."
