Trigger Issues - Diamonds
The murky world of the brilliant gem exposed

Bling, Sharon Stone, romance and blood... All are linked by diamonds, the most glittering of prizes... or a symbol of greed, lust and overblown celebrity? At the same time as sparkling innocently in a footballer’s ear, the gems fund some of the worst fighting in Africa. Diamonds are not as rare as we think and they have been mined by virtual slave labour, so why are they so expensive? The murky world of the brilliant gem exposed.

This book shows how diamonds have had an explosive effect on the modern world. Examined from every angle, it shows the connections between this everyday object and major world issues, such as war, money and fame. Short, sharp and provocative, including unusual, hard-to-find facts and figures.

124 x 174 mm, 96 pages, paperback.
