Description

The 'ndrangheta - the Calabrian region of Italy's mafia - is one of the wealthiest and most powerful criminal organisations today. It is considered Italy's most powerful mafia; it's not only the main object of concern for anti-mafia units in Italy, but also joint investigative teams in Europe and beyond.

Combining autobiography, travel ethnography, memoir, academic rigour and investigative journalism, Chasing the Mafia provides a global outlook to the 'ndrangheta, taking the reader to small villages and locations in Italy and abroad to Australia, Canada, United States, and even Argentina.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Described as "a unique insight" that challenges glorified mafia myths by Connie Agius, this book is praised for its personal and fresh approach in a field often dominated by sparse law enforcement accounts. Richard Hobbs highlights it as a refreshing addition to organised crime literature, while investigative journalist Nick McKenzie calls it a "tour de force expose" essential for understanding one of the globe's most secretive criminal organisations.
