Take a dangerously entertaining trip with Mark Thomas in search of the real story behind Coca-Cola...

Coca-Cola and its logo are everywhere. In our homes, our workplaces, even our schools. It is a company that sponsors the Olympics, backs US presidents and even re-brands Santa Claus. A truly universal product, it has even been served in space.

From Istanbul to Mexico City, Mark travels the globe investigating the stories and people Coca-Cola's iconic advertising campaigns don't mention. Child labourers in the sugar cane fields of El Salvador. Indian workers exposed to toxic chemicals. Colombian union leaders falsely accused of terrorism and jailed alongside the paramilitaries who want to kill them. And many more...

Provocative, funny and stirring, Belching Out the Devil investigates the truth behind one of the planet's biggest brands.

Praise for Belching Out the Devil

This is great comedy, great travel writing and great reporting

The Times

By far the most entertaining left-wing polemicist currently operating, as well as one of the smartest and most effective

The Times

A compelling investigation

Financial Times

Part light-hearted travelogue, part passionate polemic, part investigative documentary: Michael Palin meets Michael Moore

Thomas's strengths are his honesty and ability to fairly present both sides of an argument

Morning Star

Funny, frightening and a damn fine read ... It's the real thing
