TERRIBLE HUMANS - PATRICK ALLEY KARTONIERT (TB)

A small number of people  motivated by an insatiable greed for power and wealth  and backed by
a pinstripe army of enablers (and sometimes real armies too)  have driven the world to the
brink of destruction. They are the super-villains of corruption and war  some with a power
greater than nation state and the capacity to derail the world order. Propping up their opulent
lifestyles is a mess of crime  violence and deception on a monumental scale. But there is a
fightback: small but fearless groups of brilliant undercover sleuths closing in on them  one
step at a time. In Terrible Humans  Patrick Alley  co-founder of Global Witness and the author
of Very Bad People  introduces us to some of the world's worst warlords  grifters and
kleptocrats who can be found everywhere from presidential palaces to the board rooms of some of
the world's best known companies. Pitted against them  the book also follows the people
unravelling the deals  tracking the money and going undercover at great risk. From the oligarch
charged with ordering the killing of an investigative journalist to the mercenary army seizing
the natural resources of an entire African country  this is a whirlwind tour of the dark
underbelly of the world's super powerful and wickedly wealthy  and the daring investigators
dragging them into the light.
