Since Gomorrah was first published in Italy in 2006, Roberto Saviano has received death threats and he has been assigned police protection. A ground-breaking study and a searing expose, Gomorrah is the astonishing true story of the renowned crime organization, the Camorra, known by insiders as 'the System'. With a global reach, large stakes in construction, high fashion, illegal drugs and toxic waste disposal, the Camorra exerts a malign grip on cities and villages along the Neapolitan coast. Now an international sensation, it is at once a bold and gripping piece of investigative journalism as well as the story of one brave young man, his life in Naples and his contempt for the Camorra, a murderous organization who have destroyed the place he calls home.

Reviews for Gomorrah

Powerful and poetic * Sunday Telegraph * This crushing testimonial is the most important book to come out of Italy in years . . . After reading Gomorrah, it becomes impossible to see Italy, and the global market, in the same way again * The New York Times * This is a kaleidoscopic personal testimony rooted in a visceral rage and revulsion at what organized crime has done to one of the most beautiful places on earth . . . Read this important book * The Guardian *
