A gripping and urgent investigation into the secretive world of the
global arms trade - from a former member of the African National
Congress Revealing the corruption and the cover-ups at the heart of
ex-President Jacob Zuma's South Africa Andrew Feinstein delves
behind BAE's controversial transactions in South Africa, Tanzania
and eastern Europe and the revolving-door relationships that
characterise the US Congressional-Military-Industrial Complex. The
Shadow World exposes both the formal government-backed trade in
arms as well as the illicit deals and lays bare the shocking links
between the two. 'Essential reading for anyone who cares about
justice, transparency and accountability in both the public and
private spheres, and for anyone who believes that it is more
important to invest in saving lives than in the machinery of death'
Archbishop Desmond Tutu 'Andrew Feinstein has written an
authoritative guide to the business of war. Chilling, heartbreaking
and enraging' Arundhati Roy 'The nobility and justice of
Feinstein's sentiments are indisputable. The arms trade is a
loathsome commerce conducted by people who wear suits and occupy
big boardroom tables, but should have trouble sleeping at night'
Max Hastings, Sunday Times 'Remarkable and courageous . . . The
Shadow World is a heroic book by an author who, in writing it, has
put himself in the firing line' Iain Macwhirter 'Feinstein's book
is a singularly powerful study, and deserves to be read by anyone
who wants to see light shining on such a shadowy world' Independent
