The Yakuza: The History of the Notorious Japanese Crime Organization

Charles River Editors

" Strong leaders understand that action cures indecision. " - Toyotomi Hideyoshi, 16th century samurai

A pack of men in sharp, tailored suits and dark sunglasses strut down the street. Their eyes are shielded, but the icy scowl on their faces is a clear sign to stay out of their paths. A few of their collars hang open, showing off a glimpse of the vibrant and intricate ink work on their chests, and presumably, their entire bodies. Tattoos are the norm these days, but then one suddenly spots a man with a peculiarly pint-sized pinkie. Perhaps it is only a deformity, but upon a closer look, it appears that the entire upper half has been sliced cleanly off, almost as if it were done intentionally.

Since the beginning of civilization, crime and injustice has existed. At the same time, gangs in all shapes and sizes have been around, from rebels, dissidents, and rogue soldiers to the average circle of miscreants loitering in alleys and behind convenience stores. In Japan, a gang of a different breed would arise - one underscored by honor, respect, family, and a code of ethics. They are the Yakuza.

The Yakuza claim to be the Robin Hoods of the Far East. While they may lean towards the other side of the law, justice is all they truly aim for. After all, for a time, these tattoo-covered "thugs" have even been praised by the public. On the other hand, most are quick to say otherwise. Either way, the Yakuza is a nefarious network of stone-faced, theatrically tattooed families, with descendants that continue to make even the most seasoned of authorities quake in their shoes.

Mafia: Die wahre Geschichte des organisierten Verbrechens

Jo Durden Smith

Die Mafia - was im 19. Jahrhundert als Geheimbund auf Sizilien begann, ist zum Inbegriff des weltweit organisierten Verbrechens geworden. Der Einfluss der Mafia reicht schon lange in alle Bereiche der westlichen Gesellschaft hinein - bis in die höchsten Ränge der Politik. Weil es fast unmöglich scheint, die Mauer des Schweigens um die "ehrenwerte Gesellschaft" zu durchbrechen, konnten Bosse wie Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, Bugsy Siegel, John Gotti und der unvergessliche Don Calò zu Legenden werden. Was ein " Pate" ist, glauben wir durch Hollywood zu wissen. Wissen wir es wirklich?

In diesem Buch geht der investigative Journalist Jo Durden Smith den Schattengestalten hinter dem Mafia-Mythos nach. Er verfolgt die Geschichte dieser Verbrecherorganisation bis in ihre Anfänge zurück und zeigt, wie sie - mit Glücksspiel, Prostitution und Drogenhandel - vor allem in Amerika zur Macht wurde, die Recht und Gesetz nicht fürchtet. Von Sizilien nach New York, von Montreal nach Buenos Aires durchleuchtet er die Ereignisse und die Personen, die das mörderische Gangstermilieu der letzten hundert Jahre bestimmt haben.
