Herlihy, Patricia. Vodka: A Global History. London: Reaktion Books, 2012.
Herlihy sets vodka's neutral-spirit image against accounts of subtle flavor from material and production choices, followed by water, filtration and flavoring narratives. Her introduction separates the drink's simple base from the social identities attached to it.
