I read Brandt's book last semester (still in page proofs) and I really recommend it.
One of the things Markel leaves out in that review is how Brandt shows that anti-smoking campaigns started as soon as cigarettes did (there were actually smoking bans in a lot of states back in the 1920s!) so the recent campaign is not new.
The last third of the book is a very readable legal history :)
