Publisher's Synopsis
Gangster Planet, which is thoroughly researched and documented, yet written in a style that entertains while it informs. Much of the book provides historical analysis about how- as technology is constantly changing- crime not only persists unabated, but criminals upgrade their modernized techniques of doing business as well. It also shows how criminals involved in drug trafficking work hand-in-hand with more " professional" white-collar criminals who assist in laundering the proceeds of crime through public corporations throughout the world. An alternative subtitle could have been " The Transition of Organized Crime into Transnational Organized Crime" .
