For more than a decade, an intense gang war has been raging between
British and foreign criminals in Spain's sunny costal regions. The
warring factions have left more than a hundred people dead and
scores injured, making headlines around the world. These vicious
conflicts for control of drugs turf, protection rackets, people
smuggling and sex slavery have blighted the reputation of what was
once Europe's number one holiday destination and given it a
sinister epithet: Costa del Crime. Gang Wars on the Costa reveals
the inside story of the crime mobs, their deadly feuds and how this
chilling criminal gang culture has evolved at a rate and intensity
unlike anything seen before in Europe. With unprecedented access to
senior gang members and police officers, Wensley Clarkson traces
the roots of these criminals - from Britain, southern Europe, South
America and the former Soviet block - and focuses on the emergence
of the main gangs, whose rise to power has sparked gun battles and
even professional hits.
