Janine Roberts je jednou z mála autorů, kteří vyřknou pravdu a neoblomně jí hájí. Bojuje tak proti veškerým překážkám a umožňuje nám nahlédnout na ty, kteří se pohybují v nejskrytějších kruzích globální moci. Aniž by byla svedena mocí a bohatstvím, odhaluje, co dělají a jak nás mohou zranit. Autorka hledala pochybné obchodníky kartelu DeBeers. Poprvé zde odhaluje tajemství jednotlivců, vlád a korporací, které vládly světu diamantů za posledních sto let. Přečtěte si a nebojte se odporovat konvenčnímu přístupu, kdy se nikdo ani nesnaží protestovat proti obchodu s diamanty. Po přečtení knihy „Glitter and Greed“ budete nuceni jednat. Afričané by měli těžit, brousit, prodávat, distribuovat, opracovávat a vyvážet šperky, které jsou původem z jejich země stejně tak jako Franci kontroluje produkci vína a Spojené státy kontrolují obranné technologie.

Janine Roberts is that rare individual who unflinchingly speaks truth to power. She battles her way past all the obstacles and provides us a glimpse of those who are in the innermost circles of global power. But instead of being seduced by their power and wealth, she exposes what they do and how they do it and how it comes to hurt us all.

She has hunted down the shady dealers of the diamond cartel and of DeBeers, itself. She reveals here for the first time the disturbing secrets of the individuals, governments, and corporations that have ruled the diamond world for the past one hundred years.

Read and get ready to defy conventional wisdom that no one really cares enough to challenge business as usual in the diamond world. For afreading 'Glitter and Greed', you will be compelled to act. Africans should mine, cut, polish, market, distribute, manufacture, and export the jewelry that originates upon its shores in much the same way that France controls its wine production and the United States controls its defense technology."
