"A vivid, hair-raising tale of brutal proportions that outdistances any fictional tale of derring-do."
Washington Times
"Though he steps into the vocal cadence of African leaders, Weiner wisely doesn't overdramatize. His pace, clarity, and compelling tone work to keep listener's attention throughout a detailed explanation of how the diamond market works…This audio…might cause you to take a new look at 'a girl's best friend.'"

"Campbell…reminds us that there is no longer any such thing as an isolated conflict that governments and corporations can ignore with impunity."
