'Revealing ... Explains lucidly how the oil and mineral bonanza subverts societies ... particularly acute in analysing how multinationals connive in this institutionalised theft ... This intelligent book should give us all pause for thought when we fill our cars with petrol' Sunday Times
'A powerful case, through anecdote and evidence, that the dirty trade in raw materials serves individuals' own enrichment' The Times
'[Burgis] presents a lively portrait of the rapacious "looting machine" ... a rich collage of examples showing the links between corrupt companies and African elites' Economist
'A great scrapbook of exploitation. Burgis has the good sense not to present it in an alarmist way, but with an understatement that is far more powerful ... [it] is in part a means of self-exoneration, a way of making amends to those he ultimately could not help ... He has done a service to some of the world's poorest people' FinancialTimes
'Excellent. Burgis ensures that we don't stop wondering who does what in Africa and how we are all party to what Western "investors" are up to. The post-colonial corruption and rape of African resource to the benefit of western consumption is still alive and horribly well' Jon Snow
'Burgis has managed to uncover a system responsible for the wholesale looting of Africa's mineral resources for the benefit of oligarchic and state interests around the world. Burgis, a gifted young journalist, has tracked down all these characters across some of Africa's most dangerous hotspots and beyond. Vivid, eye-popping and even at times very funny' Misha Glenny, author of 'McMafia'
'Makes an important case colourfully, convincingly and at times courageously as he confronts some of those involved in the pillaging' Observer
'[An] excellent, finely reported book ... The great value lies in its fresh detail, storytelling and the characters Burgis introduces. Crammed with colour and lively investigative reporting' Literary Review
'[A] major contribution' TLS
