Publishers Text

In 1922, William H. Ukers wrote the definitive work on coffee. He covered the process from the bean to the cup, from the earliest forms of the beverage up until his "modern-day", where he claimed that it was responsible for the victory of the first World War. Ukers gushes over coffee as only the most ardent caffeine addict could-calling it "the fighting man's drink" and defending it from attacks from "religious superstition, medical prejudice, fierce political opposition, stupid fiscal restrictions, unjust taxes, and irksome duties." All about Coffee is the first time that his words will be available in an affordable and attractive package. Edited from an exhaustive history to a series of short tid-bits and delightful aphorisms.
