Summary
[edit]According to this book, the collapse of the Soviet Union is the catalyst for organized crime to proliferate in Eastern Europe and the book essentially begins with this event. Glenny supplies first hand on-the-ground descriptions. The book itself chronicles a multinational journey of organized transnational crime in the age of the deregulated globalized market place. Glenny conducted hundreds of interviews with mainstream business people, as well as former and existent law enforcement and government officials as source material for the book.[4]
