| Summary |
Espionage, smuggling and secret ransoms are at the center of this nonfiction thriller about the outlaws who go where our government won't. The story of these outlaws is a microcosm of the world since the end of the Cold War: secret contracts and guerilla foreign policy. Potter tells the underground history of the globalized world. This is a must-read for anyone interested in how the world really works. |
