Angels, Mobsters and Narco-terrorists Summary

Angels, Mobsters and Narco-terrorists: The Rising Menace of Global Criminal Empires by Antonio Nicaso

In this ground-breaking book, Antonio Nicaso, an internationally renowned expert on organized crime groups, and Lee Lamothe, a veteran investigative journalist specializing in criminal conspiracies, present solid evidence of how established organized crime groups - such as the Mafia and the Triads - have changed their tactics and allegiances to protect their interests against the rise of violent and power-hungry gangs from Albania, Mexico, and Russia. Angels, Mobsters, & Narco-Terrorists reveals how, due to their shared border, the USA and Canada have become prime targets for criminal groups that engage in money laundering and prostitution rings, and trafficking in human cargo, narcotics, and arms. On the international scene, state-sanctioned crime is thriving on heroin profits and cyber crime is emerging as a very lucrative and baffling activity to investigate and shut down. Dive inside the world of organized crime and discover how far it has penetrated our lives.

Angels, Mobsters and Narco-terrorists Reviews

"Looking beyond the cliche, Angels, Mobsters and Narco-Terrorists looks at organized crime in a way that is rarely done. It reveals a rich history, thick in interesting details, that helps one better understand why some of these organizations enjoy the power they do today."-Paul Cherry, Journalist/Reporter, The Gazette (Montreal) "Angels, Mobsters and Narco-Terrorists traces an emerging pax mafia, where warlords. Drug barons, Godfathers, terrorists and corrupt government officials work to feed the world's seemingly insatiable appetite for illicit goods. This gripping survey of emerging threats whisks us from the sweaty jungles of South Asia to mysterious North Korean government offices; from the bloody border towns of Mexico to a startling village in Italy, where outlaws are a time-honored tradition."-Adrian Humphreys, Author of the Enforcer and Crime Reporter with the National Post "In their new book, Angels, Mobsters and Narco-Terrorists, Lamothe and Nicaso have once again set the standard for organized crime writing. They have provided a timely expose on the state of global crime and the significant trends that have transpired since the publication of their influential tome Global Mafia. This illuminating sequel helps cement their reputation as Canada's top experts on organized crime in this country and beyond."-Stephen Schneider, PH.D., Department of Sociology and Criminal Law, St. Mary's University, Halifax, Canada
