Having spent 6 months in 1993 in Bosnia and then a further 5 months in Kosovo in 1999 this book held some personal interest. In fairness, both tours of duty left me with an “itch” as to what the West was hoping to achieve in what was clearly a lawless society following the collapse of State sponsored socialism. However, what really surprised me was how these displaced “refugees” or indeed “ criminals” have now exported that lawlessness onto the streets of Britain. Without a single murmur of its

Very interesting perspective on Albanian organised crimeA lot has been said and written around this subject, often quite confusing much of it being based on hearsay rather than fact and understanding. This gives you better perspective of the origins of Albanian organised crime but also the degree of political instability along with corruption fuelling much of the organised crime. It's clear Albanian organised crime is here to stay, there needs to be much better understanding of their structure a...

Well researched book about a group who controls the majority of Britain's drug industry.

Well researched book about a group who controls the majority of Britain's drug industry.

Fascinating and informativeI knew little or nothing about the Albanian drug trade. This book has completely changed that. It is sufficiently detailed that one gains a real understanding of the ever-changing nature of the trade and its evolution from a mainly central European entity to a sprawling global network, yet without lurching into minutiae and over -complexity. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone with even a fleeting interest in international crime.
