The Merger: The Conglomeration of International Organized Crime

The Merger: The Conglomeration of International Organized Crime by Robinson, Jeffrey. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781585672486.

A shocking, true account of a global crime network of unimaginable proportions, in which multinational criminals make alliances much like legitimate businesses, The Merger lays bare the criminal fraternitys new world order. International crime expert and best-selling author Jeffrey Robinson gives details of their subterranean activities-previously known only to international law enforcement insiders-to make this network public, tracing an intricate web of connections between such infamous organized crime rings as the Sicilian Mafiosi, the Camorra from Naples, the Ndrangheta from Calabria, the Chinese Triads, the Russian, Hungarian, and Czech Republic "maffiyas," and organized crime groups from Columbia, Mexico, Nigeria, and Vietnam-to name just a few. Through his meticulous research, Jeffrey Robinson developed contacts in police organizations all over the world and has pinpointed the factors that have led to the emergence of these worldwide crime cartels. Written with a keen sense of anecdote and an authoritative command of the facts, The Merger is a tautly-paced tale that both educates and entertains. "Robinson is highly readable and entertaining...[he] will leave readers wondering just what we can do about the situation, which is what he intends all along." (Robert D. Paar, The Boston Globe) "The Merger crushes all crime novels before because its written with unflinching truth and conviction." (Vibe Magazine)
