Gomorrah

"The Camorra of southern Italy is involved in the international drug trade, moving huge quantities of toxic waste in Italy, making huge deals in the production of cheap and high quality textiles, having a virtual monopoly on the trade in cement and business relations that extend to Germany, Scotland and China. Hundreds of deaths are attributed to her every year. The young journalist Roberto Saviano himself comes from Naples. At the risk of his life, he did research on the spot, provided evidence and wrote a brilliant book that takes the reader's breath away. The power of the Camorra, like that of other criminal organizations, is based on silence. Saviano countered this silence with the power of the word. Thus he also exposed himself to deadly danger, has been living in secret places ever since and only goes out in public under the protection of bodyguards.
