Curse of Gold - Gramedia

Beneath the glitter of gold lies a darker story of power, ambition, and betrayal. Curse of Gold uncovers how vast mineral wealth, far from bringing prosperity, became a catalyst for foreign intervention, covert operations, and political manipulation during the Cold War. Drawing on extensive archival research, Greg Poulgrain reveals how strategic interests surrounding gold and other critical resources placed resource-rich regions at the center of global rivalry. Governments, intelligence agencies, and multinational corporations converged in a silent struggle where sovereignty was compromised and national destinies reshaped behind closed doors. More than a history of mineral exploitation, Curse of Gold is a compelling account of how natural wealth can become a curse when entangled with geopolitical ambition. It challenges readers to reconsider the true cost of prosperity and exposes the hidden forces that continue to shape political power in resource-rich nations.
