Get Hold Of The Merger: The Conglomeration Of International Organized Crime Articulated By Jeffrey Robinson Available Through Digital Format

shocking book about global crime, Shocking because the book is nonfiction, Another depressing eyeopener about some very nasty people, Considering this book was written aboutyears ago, just imagine how much more prolific these avaricious people are.
Well written criminal capitalism Robinson has his toughguy moments he has a habit of using words like "slimeball" to describe specific mobsters, much as the Philadelphia Daily News would but the reportage is also very alarming.
Robinson not only knows his stuff hisexpose is a wrenching preamble to the horrors of, demonstrating how a cellphone and a good lawyer can help violent criminals migrate anywhere in the world.
He's particularly hard on Slavik syndicates, but given the makeup of the Kremlin these days plus a couple slaughtered journalists, the criticism is more warranted now than ever.
He makes a shocking connection between South African gangs who, thanks to Apartheid, are masterforgers of governments documents and Nigerian conartists who, thanks to crushing poverty, have become the most successful fraudsters in the world.
Nigerians are famously pacifist, but the country is amazing Internetsavvy South Africa is famously violent, but even electricity is scarce on the Homelands.
This marriage of two diverse cultural skillsets is just one example of crossnational collaboration borne by colonialism, nurtured by globalization, virally spread by rampant technological advances.
Scariest of all is that all this borderjumping still occurs while the West focuses on terrorism, this book is a reminder that secular mobsterism and moneylaundering hasn't been in the least deterred.
I appreciate this book highlighted some keys issues about organised crime a few years ago, and the importance of banking.
But I feel this has been done so much better by other authors,

Robinson's endless stream of anecdotal, often disconnected stories with no references is difficult to take seriously.
Other writers have managed to include references without compromising sources, It's also overlaid with so much cynicism and stereotypes lack of comment is taken as confirmation leaps are made or heavily implied over thin ground.
I don't doubt that much of this was true, and certainly in general terms in the interaction between OC groups, licit and illicit individuals.
But it is unfortunate that it is all undermined by this casual, stream of consciousness style,

Misha Glenny's McMafia was a bit better in my view, without losing a narrative style, but Saviano is the king.


Well documented and researched and many of the theories of the author been proven accurate, This book clearly shows that transnational crime is global and the amount of money involved is staggering, The second economy !! in some parts of the world, is the!!
Anyone knows what Illigal means !
Learn a lot,
Thanks Laszlo In the past ten years a secret and deadly alliance has been gradually formed between some of the most dangerous criminals in the world.
South American drug cartels, the Italian mafia and Russian organised crime together represent an unstoppable force, .
