Description:
A European coffee trader traces the history of a leading global trade commodity. His bitter perspective encompasses coffee's role in the slave trade, revolutions, Napoleon's exile, the Starbucks phenomenon, and current global economics including the fair trade movement. An illustration shows coffee disrupting spiders' web- weaving more than marijuana. Given his occupation, it's surprising that Wild ignores research on coffee's positive health effects.
