Description
Cobalt Red: the shocking truth about the human cost of cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Siddharth Kara's powerful investigation reveals the brutal realities of the cobalt mining industry, exposing the suffering of the people and environment affected by this essential component of our modern world.
The book is based on Kara's extensive research, including interviews with Congolese people who live, work, and die for cobalt. He has uncovered the dark truth about the supply chain of child-mined cobalt, from toxic pits to consumer-facing tech giants. This stark and crucial book argues that we must all care about what is happening in the Congo, because we are all implicated.
