Books like Outlaws Inc by Matt Potter


In Outlaws Inc, journalist Matt Potter recounts the activities of a smuggling operation that emerged in the years following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The ring, which trafficked goods—including illegal arms—across dangerous borders, was financed by a mix of U.S. government agencies, Afghan warlords, and multinational corporations. Potter’s account exposes how these actors leveraged the chaos of the post‑Soviet era to profit from the black market, illustrating the complex web of political and economic forces that fueled illicit trade.

El Narco by 12491071|Ioan Grillo book cover

📘 El Narco
 by Ioan Grillo

The gripping account of the out-of-control drug wars that have brought chaos to Mexico. This is the story of the ultraviolent criminal organisations that have turned huge areas of Mexico into a combat zone. It is a piercing portrait of a drug trade that turns ordinary men into mass murderers, as well as a diagnosis of what drives the cartels and what gives them such power. Veteran Mexico correspondent Ioan Grillo traces the gangs from their origins as smugglers to their present status as criminal empires. The narco cartels are a threat to the Mexican government - and their violence has now reached as far as North Carolina.
