Flight of the Diamond Smugglers: A Tale of Pigeons, Obsession, and Greed Along Coastal South Africa

byMatthew Gavin Frank

Focused on a Tale of Pigeons, Obsession, and Greed Along Coastal South Africa, Flight of the Diamond Smugglers brings Matthew Gavin Frank's biographical portrait to a complex and consequential subject. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of biography & autobiography and pets. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
