Blood Diamonds, by Greg Campbell

966.404 CAM

Recommended by Donna


Is a diamond forever, or deadly? That depends on which side of the Atlantic you live on. Follow one reporter’s journey to Africa and discover how young men are killed or taken as slaves to dig for illegal diamonds, and how children are kidnapped and used as soldiers to guard the men. He follows a trail that leads to Al-Qaeda buying smuggled diamonds and converting them into millions of dollars to fund terrorist activities. This book will make you think twice about “a girl’s best friend”!
