Gomorrah : A Personal Journey into the Violent International Empire of Naples' Organized Crime System

A powerful work of reportage…Part economic analysis, part social history, part cri de coeur, this crushing testimonial is the most important book to come out of Italy in years. Like Conrad's London, Saviano's Naples is also one of the dark places of the earth. He tugged a loose thread in the fabric of Italian bourgeois respectability and kept pulling until nothing was left.
