About this book

Coffee: A Dark History by Wild, Antony. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780393060713.

A European coffee trader traces the history of a leading global trade commodity. His bitter perspective encompasses coffees role in the slave trade, revolutions, Napoleons 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, its surprising that Wild ignores research on coffees positive health effects.
