520 1 $a"Gomorrah is a bold and important work of investigative writing that holds global significance. Roberto Saviano's account traces the decline of Naples under the rule of organized crime. The Camorra is a network with an international reach and stakes in construction, high fashion, illicit drugs, and toxic-waste disposal. Known by insiders as the System, it has infiltrated the economic and social fabric of the city and its region; the province of Campania, which has the highest murder rate in all of Europe and, in recent years, skyrocketing levels of cancer." "A native of Naples, Saviano recalls seeing his first murder at the age of thirteen, and remembers his own father, a doctor, suffering a brutal beating for trying to aid a teenage victim who had been left for dead in the street. In pursuit of his story, he infiltrates the System's work life and society. He reports on the progress of the huge cargoes of Chinese goods that are shipped to Naples and then quickly distributed across Europe's black market. He investigates the Camorra's control of thousands of factories contracted to manufacture fashion goods, legally and illegally, for distribution around the world, and reveals how their abusive handling of toxic waste has created devastating pollution."--BOOK JACKET.
