"A powerful and long-overdue expose of greed and violence in the
battle over Africa's mineral wealth. . . . A harrowing and
important work that shows yet again that far-flung conflicts touch
closer to home that we may imagine."-- Greg Campbell , author of
Blood Diamonds: Tracing the Deadly Path of the World's Most
Precious Stones
"An exceptional book that opens up the complicated and brutal
reality of life in the Democratic Republic of Congo. By explaining
and connecting the violence that occurs on the ground to the
products it facilitates, Eichstaedt serves up a devastating global
insight into the perpetuation of violence in the DRC." -- Sarnata
Reynolds , Amnesty International USA
"Eichstaedt provides counterpoint and a glimmer of hope in the form
of possible reforms and legislations that could restore order to a
devastated region." -- Publishers Weekly
