520    "An unflinching investigation reveals the human rights 
       abuses behind the Congo’s cobalt mining operation—and the 
       moral implications that affect us all. Cobalt Red is the 
       searing, first-ever exposé of the immense toll taken on 
       the people and environment of the Democratic Republic of 
       the Congo by cobalt mining, as told through the 
       testimonies of the Congolese people themselves. Activist 
       and researcher Siddharth Kara has traveled deep into 
       cobalt territory to document the testimonies of the people
       living, working, and dying for cobalt. To uncover the 
       truth about brutal mining practices, Kara investigated 
       militia-controlled mining areas, traced the supply chain 
       of child-mined cobalt from toxic pit to consumer-facing 
       tech giants, and gathered shocking testimonies of people 
       who endure immense suffering and even die mining cobalt. 
       Cobalt is an essential component to every lithium-ion 
       rechargeable battery made today, the batteries that power 
       our smartphones, tablets, laptops, and electric vehicles. 
       Roughly 75 percent of the world’s supply of cobalt is 
       mined in the Congo, often by peasants and children in sub-
       human conditions. Billions of people in the world cannot 
       conduct their daily lives without participating in a human
       rights and environmental catastrophe in the Congo. In this
       stark and crucial book, Kara argues that we must all care 
       about what is happening in the Congo—because we are all 
       implicated." From publisher's website
