Kirkpatrick and Shepherd were journalists.
So, they were covering "Blood Diamond". By using them people got guns and they took a heavy toll of lives.
I was thrilled at this story. I got about African civil war and it was easy to read,so it was good.
But it was easy that I expected more of evolution, so it was not
so interesting as a whole. ( )
