International bestselling author Roberto Saviano explores the inner workings of the world of drugs and dirty money - its rules and armies - and the true depth of its reach. From Mexican cartels to Milanese financiers, Guatemalan mercenaries to Ukrainian warlords, Calabrian traffickers to the traders in Wall Street and London who wash the money clean. This is an unforgettable story that goes around the globe and through every level of society to show the extent to which the drug trade affects us all.

Reviews for Zero Zero Zero

The most important book of the year ... Here it is, laid bare: cartel as corporation, corporation as cartel; cocaine as pure capitalism ... Saviano realises the brutal truth: that to understand narco-traffic is to understand the modern world ... it is revolutionary -- Ed Vulliamy * Observer * Impassioned . . . a literary style that switches from vivid descriptions of human depravity to a philosophical consideration of the meaning of violence in the modern world. -- Misha Glenny * Financial Times * Vivid . . . lands a resounding thump to the solar plexus * Economist * A powerful work of reportage . . . it goes to the heart of the financial sector's dependence on drug capital and its depredations -- Ian Thomson * Telegraph * After reading Saviano, it becomes impossible to see Italy, and the global market, in the same way again. * The New York Times * Saviano is a blazingly vivid and courageous writer. * Independent * Saviano has an astonishing ability to write luminously yet subtly about terrible things. * Le Parisien * A national hero. * Umberto Eco * Brave and passionate * Guardian * Saviano should be commended for his bravery, and supported by all who share his revulsion. * Observer *
