TERRIBLE HUMANS - PATRICK ALLEY KARTONIERT (TB)

From the author of  Very Bad People   another thrilling exploration of the world' s worst
warlords  grifters and kleptocrats - and the brilliant investigators taking them down    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.
