Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives by Siddharth Kara

This book exposes the toll taken on the people and environment in the Congo by cobalt mining. 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% of the world’s supply of cobalt is mined in the Congo.
