Off, one of Canada's leading journalists, has written this exposé of the chocolate industry, drawing parallels from the "blood diamond" industry in Africa to show how the battle for cocoa beans has created civil strife and widespread corruption in the same continent. Balancing this investigative journalism with a thorough history of the chocolate trade, the author shows how the "sweetness" of chocolate is thoroughly undermined by tales of civil war, child labor abuses and an overall business philosophy that mirrors the illegal drug trade. This compelling examination should appeal to general audiences. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
