• catalog abstract ""Journalist and human rights activist Janine Roberts was funded for many years by a coalition of US and European churches to work on international human rights frontiers. This work led her to De Beers and its diamond cartel affiliates - after they clashed with an Australian Aboriginal community. She has now been researching and writing on De Beers and the diamond trade for over twenty years, during which time she has made several films, including The Diamond Empire, a feature length documentary shot in six continents, made for the BBC, Australia's ABC and WGBH (Frontline). Although this film was televised and critically acclaimed in the US and Canada, under pressure from De Beers it was severely edited by the BBC for broadcast in the UK and was completely suppressed in some other territories, including Southern Africa and Australia." "Bertelsmann AG's British, Australian and Canadian Doubleday imprints then commissioned, paid for and advertised a major work by Ms. Roberts on diamonds - only to drop it at the very last moment, citing the "likelihood of litigation" by "notable and powerful businessmen and politicians."" "This book reveals everything - and more - that the BBC did not have the guts to broadcast and that Doubleday was scared to print."--Jacket.".
