Glitter & Greed: The Secret World of the Diamond Cartel
Description:
Rare, romantic, and forever: The diamond industry depends on these myths to reap billions of dollars of profit. This sensational investigation explodes such fallacies and -reveals how multimillion dollar advertising campaigns create the impression of rarity and romance.

- How De Beers hides away rich diamond deposits-and where some of these are located.
- How a long-term companion of Jackie Onassis was a CIA-linked millionaire diamond merchant tied to coups and dictators in Central Africa.
- Just how diamonds are "fixed" to make them more expensive.
- How major diamond companies cooperated with Hitler's Germany-and how much they were paid.
- How industrial diamond supplies were artificially -restricted to the United States during World War II, severely damaging its war effort and how U.S. Intelligence came to suspect treason.
- How a major diamond deposit in Arkansas was sabotaged to stop it coming into production.
- How the White House was manipulated into buying millions of diamonds it did not need and now must sell.
- How terrorism found its way into the diamond trade, not recently but many decades ago.
