With an introduction by Misha Glenny.

Since Gomorrah was first published in Italy in 2006, Roberto Saviano has received death threats and he has been assigned police protection. A ground-breaking study and a searing expose, Gomorrah is the astonishing true story of the renowned crime organization, the Camorra, known by insiders as ‘the System’. With a global reach, large stakes in construction, high fashion, illegal drugs and toxic waste disposal, the Camorra exerts a malign grip on cities and villages along the Neapolitan coast.

In pursuit of his subject and in order to gain access into this notorious group, Saviano worked as an assistant at a Chinese textile manufacturer, on a construction site and as a waiter at a Camorra wedding. Now an international sensation, it is at once a bold and gripping piece of investigative journalism as well as the story of one brave young man, his life in Naples and his contempt for the Camorra, a murderous organization who have destroyed the place he calls home.
