Books : McMafia: A Journey Through the Global Criminal Underworld

Rating: - Fascinating (and Brave) Examination of Global Crime
After reading his impressive history of the Balkans, I was drawn to anything with Glenny's name on it. This volume starts in the Balkans and follows the criminal underworld in all its connectedness and complexity across the globe. Glenny focuses on how globalization has impacted the criminal underworld and repeatedly reminds the reader that licit and illicit markets continually cross paths in this age of globalization. Glenny is fearless in that he does not hesitate to highlight those involved in these activities--no matter how wealthy or connected they are. This is an important and eye-opening read.

Argh !!!, never mind, Best book I have read in a while, forget what the perfectionist say. I lived abroad and I AM NOT A RACIST, when I say 75% of the world is 150 years behind us. DO NOT PROJECT YOUR IMAGE ON THE REST OF THE WORLD, It does not work. Think before you write, naive ignorant people are not liberal or conservative, there are just plain dangerous.

Rating: - Interesting then tedious
He started off with exhilariting accounts of the criminal organizations which rose out of the chaos of the fall of the USSR and other sectarian wars in Eastern Europe but got bogged down in anecdote. Still, it was food for thought and spells trouble for the new world order.

The author's professional expertise and research combine to show clearly the extent of the 'darkside'.
