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.
