Review of 'Monk of Mokha' on 'Goodreads'

An incredible story of one young man's determination against all odds and dangerous conditions, this is well worth the read. This rather short read includes some fascinating history, as well. It certainly makes one take another look at so many products that are, for us, so easily obtained.

I'd recommend this to anyone.
