Africa's diamond wars took four million lives. 'Blood on the Stone'
tells the story of how diamonds came to be so dangerous, describing the
great diamond cartel and a dangerous pipeline leading from war-torn
Africa to the glittering showrooms of Paris, London and New York. It
describes the campaign that forced an industry and more than 50
governments to create a global control mechanism, and it provides a
sobering prognosis on its future.
