Blood Diamonds: Tracing the Deadly Path of the World's Most Precious Stones, by Greg Campbell, 280 pages
This book discusses the history of diamond mining in Africa, the brutal toll it has taken on the people of Sierra Leone, and how these "blood" diamonds may have been used by al-Qaeda to fund 9/11. The violence described is pretty gory and unpleasant, and there is not really an uplifting ending.
