Mark Galeotti & Yvonnick Denoël

How Crime Organises the World

Do we really know the extent that the underworld shapes our overworld? This exploration of organised crime considers how the world’s criminal underbelly has shaped so-called legitimate power.

Intelligence specialist Denoël reveals the Vatican’s covert operations – from escape routes for Nazi war criminals to money laundering for the mafia whilst Galeotti charts the emergence of modern society through the evolution of the underworld.

‘Galeotti’s sweeping global history makes a compelling case that to truly understand how the world works we must understand the criminals who’ve helped create it.’
