Blood Diamonds
by Greg Campbell
read by Tom Weiner
Unabridged


This is the true story of the events that inspired the feature film Blood Diamonds.

The diamonds of Sierra Leone have funded one of the most savage rebel campaigns in modern history. These “blood diamonds” are smuggled out of West Africa and sold to legitimate diamond merchants in London, Antwerp, and New York, often with the complicity of the international diamond industry. Eventually, these very diamonds find their way into the rings and necklaces of brides the world over.

Blood Diamonds is the gripping story of how diamond smuggling works, how the rebel war has effectively destroyed Sierra Leone and its people, and how the policies of the diamond industry—institutionalized in the 1880s by the De Beers cartel—have allowed it to happen. Award-winning journalist Greg Campbell traces the deadly trail of these diamonds, many of which are brought to the world market by fanatical enemies, and the repercussions felt far beyond the poor and war-ridden country of Sierra Leone. The consequences of overlooking this African tragedy are both shockingly deadly and unquestionably global.

Review Quotes

“A vivid, hair-raising tale of brutal proportions that outdistances any fictional tale of derring-do.”—Washington Times

“This is an important, gut-wrenching story, one still unfolding in the wake of the war and September 2001.”—San Francisco Chronicle

“Mr. Campbell tells this complex tale from a personal, feet-on-the ground perspective....He reminds us that there is no longer any such thing as an isolated conflict that governments and corporations can ignore with impunity.”—New York Times


GREG CAMPBELL is an award-winning freelance journalist and editor of the Fort Collins Weekly. His work has appeared in the Christian Science Monitor, San Francisco Chronicle, and the fifth edition of Lonely Planet’s West Africa guidebook. He is consultant to the upcoming film, Blood Diamonds.
