Zero Zero Zero by Roberto Saviano
An expose of dirty money and the drug trade that reveals how they are at the heart of our lives, our economy, and our world.
The most important book of the year.. Here it is, laid bare: cartel as corporation, corporation as cartel; cocaine as pure capitalism ... Saviano realises the brutal truth: that to understand narco-traffic is to understand the modern world ... it is revolutionary -- Ed Vulliamy * Observer *
Impassioned . . . a literary style that switches from vivid descriptions of human depravity to a philosophical consideration of the meaning of violence in the modern world. -- Misha Glenny * Financial Times *
Vivid . . . lands a resounding thump to the solar plexus * Economist *
A powerful work of reportage . . . it goes to the heart of the financial sector's dependence on drug capital and its depredations -- Ian Thomson * Telegraph *
After reading Saviano, it becomes impossible to see Italy, and the global market, in the same way again. * The New York Times *
Saviano is a blazingly vivid and courageous writer. * Independent *
Saviano has an astonishing ability to write luminously yet subtly about terrible things. * Le Parisien *
A national hero. * Umberto Eco *
Brave and passionate * Guardian *
Saviano should be commended for his bravery, and supported by all who share his revulsion. * Observer *
