Más información sobre el libro

From the author of the #1 international bestseller Gomorrah comes an electrifying investigation into the international cocaine trade, revealing its hidden role in the global economy. Among narco-traffickers, "zero zero zero" signifies the purest grade of cocaine, and this work explores the inner workings of the trade—its rules, armies, and far-reaching impact. Gomorrah, Saviano's explosive account of the Neapolitan mob, led to his living under police protection for over eight years due to its explosive revelations. During this time, he has gained insights from law enforcement agencies worldwide, broadening his perspective on the drug trade as a global corporate entity. This synthesis of literary narrative and geopolitical analysis unveils the complex money-laundering operations that enable the drug trade, often with the complicity of major banks. Saviano tracks the power shift in the cocaine trade from Colombia to Mexico, detailing how Latin American cartels have formed alliances with Italian crime syndicates, Russians, and Africans. He reveals the increasing sophistication of these entities as they diversify while also highlighting the escalating violence in their quest for power. Saviano’s work connects disparate phenomena into a single epic narrative, offering a gripping and unfiltered examination of a dark force in our economy.
