Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives by Siddharth Kara has been praised for its illuminating exploration of the cobalt mining industry in the Congo, offering a powerful critique of ethical issues in global supply chains. However, some critics note a lack of proposed solutions and argue that the narrative can be repetitive. Overall, it's a compelling but challenging read.
A reader fascinated by global economics, human rights, and ethical sourcing would enjoy Cobalt Red. Comparable to Blood Diamonds by Greg Campbell or The Looting Machine by Tom Burgis, it appeals to those who seek to understand the human cost of resource extraction.
