Like a journalistic Indiana Jones he has travelled the world in
search of his prey, displaying impressive stamina, intellectual
chutzpah and physical bravery on the way.... This is the most
important non-fiction book of the year so far - organised crime's
version of Fast Food Nation
*Mail on Sunday*
To be regarded as one of the essential non-fiction works of our
time. Exhaustively researched and reported, it's sobering in the
extreme, but also riveting, filled with exotic locations,
staggering facts, acts of incredible brutality and colourful, if
deadly, characters.... Anyone with even the smallest interest in
how the world really works should read this book
*GQ*
The great merit of Glenny's book is that it does not just chronicle
the foul deeds of international crime syndicates. It probes the
imbalances and injustices that propel people and nations towards
criminal behaviour... This, racy, well-researched and highly
entertaining book should be essential reading for law reformers
everywhere
*Irish Times*
His message is that the global marketplace has empowered criminals
on a huge and terrifying scale.... He tells a grisly story very
well... A pacey, riveting, eye-opening account
*Sunday Times*
This is a big, noble book by a proper reporter who travels the
world and gives the Mr Bigs of global crime a poke in the eye...
uncomfortable but compelling reading... You must read it
*Literary Review*
