While the earlier book focused on international banking sanctions against apartheid and the early stages of the South African arms deal scandal, this follow-up provides updated revelations. Crawford-Browne documents how arms companies like BAE paid massive bribes to politically connected ANC members—the so-called \"black diamonds\"—to secure contracts. His public interest application to the Constitutional Court in 2008 ultimately forced President Jacob Zuma's reluctant appointment of a judicial commission of inquiry in 2011.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book also links South Africa's colonial and apartheid diamond history with Israel and Palestine, showing how De Beers lost cartel control to ruthless Israeli players. Crawford-Browne argues that diamonds are central to the modern war business, serving as blood diamonds that enable money laundering and organized crime. He paints a hard-hitting picture of corruption, global arms trading, and the destructive reach of the international war economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly regarded as a courageous exposé of corruption and the arms deal scandal. Perfect for readers of South African political history, investigative journalism, and global corruption studies.
