• Description:

  The diamond industry depends on these legends to reap billions of dollars of profit. "Conflict diamonds" as a phrase evokes visions of Africa, civil war and enormous profits but in reality, conflict diamonds can be found in the region of the world aside from Africa. Roberts is an Australian journalist who first became interested in the subject when she covered a quarrel between a diamond mine and Aboriginal natives in her homeland of Australia. With Leonardo DiCaprio's new movie The Blood Diamond making many people than ever aware of the seamy side of the diamond trade, Janine Roberts' explosive depiction taking us through seven decades of intrigue and manipulation, is the right book at the right time.
