Reviews

Gavin Slades compelling work offers a fascinating account of the workings and, crucially, the decline of the Mafia brotherhood in Georgia. The book is the result of impressive fieldwork undertaken by Slade in the former Soviet Republic. * Paolo Campana, The Howard Journal of Criminal Justice *
