The Last Empire: De Beers, Diamonds, and the World | Stefan Kanfer

With a scholar's precision and a novelist's eye, Stefan Kanfer tells the inside story of De Beers Consolidated Mines - from the nineteenth century diamond rush that transformed Johannes De Beer's humble South African farm into an exotic klondike, to the Oppenheimers' shadow empire that has achieved umatched global reach.

You may tell me off for this since it's non-fiction.

The rocks in this book will rock you. It's a book about the diamond trade in South Africa and mainly about how the DeBeers family created its empire.

This is one of the books I used for my final exam, to gain my Master's degree. It is about the history of the "De Beers" empire and hence about the history of the diamond trade in, and out of, South Africa.
