Bruno - Conversations with a Brazilian Drug Dealer (Hardcover)

In the 1980s a poor farmer's son from Recife, Brazil, joined the
Brazilian navy and began selling cocaine. After his arrest in Rio
de Janeiro he spent the next eight years in prison, where he joined
the Comando Vermelho criminal faction and eventually became one of
its leaders. Robert Gay tells this young man's dramatic and
captivating story in Bruno. In his shockingly candid interviews
with Gay, Bruno provides many insights into the criminal world in
which he lived: details of day-to-day prison life; the inner
workings of the Brazilian drug trade; the structure of criminal
factions; and the complexities of the relationships and links
between the prisons, drug trade, gangs, police, and favelas. And
most stunningly, Bruno's story suggests that Brazilian
mismanagement of the prison system directly led to the Comando
Vermelho and other criminal factions' expansion into Rio's favelas,
where their turf wars and battles with police have terrorized the
city for over two decades.
