In the early hours of an August morning a gunfight broke out in an
Italian restaurant in Duisburg; in less than five minutes over
seventy shots were fired into the bodies of six men. Both victims
and assassins were members of the 'Ndrangheta crime organization;
Calabria's Mafia had extended the savage tentacle of its influence
outside Italy for the first time. For the men of the 'Ndrangheta,
time is still measured in hour-glasses and honour may only be
washed with blood. Petra Reski dispels the Hollywood romance
surrounding the Mafia to reveal the huge and menacing force lurking
everywhere - from street corner to parliament offices, construction
site to corporate headquarters - and involved in everything from
petty extortion to the disposal of nuclear waste. Reski's searing
portrait of the criminals who have come to control not only Italy
but vast swathes of Europe, is a journalistic tour de force.
