With A Perfect Red, she does for it what Mark Kurlansky in Salt did for that common commodity."--Houston ChronicleInterweaving mystery, empire, and adventure, Amy Butler Greenfield's masterful popular history offers a window onto a world far different from our own: a world in which the color red was rare and precious--a source of wealth and power for those who could unlock its secrets.
