Andrew Feinstein - The Shadow World Inside the Global Arms Trade

The shadow world Feinstein describes is the never fully legal arms trade.

Ranging from the deepest darkness of selling stolen weapon systems using falsified documents to ruthless murderers to the 'business as usual' bribery that is almost out in the open and is perpetrated by (family & friends) of the people we put in power.

Mapping the shadow world is like mapping a delta, the networks are ever changing, even if there are major streams that keep on re-appearing. The book is meandering through huge amounts of facts.

Not an easy read(/listen) nor a uplifting one.

Reread as a precursor to 'monstrous anger of the guns'.

The cover of the book. In really large grey letters "Shadow World" one word per line.
 Below in red letters quarter of the size "inside the global"
Below that in same color red but bigger font "Arms trade"
Below that a quote in black 'thoroughly riveting' and in red italics Sunday Telegraph 

Then a photograph of two boys apparently playing but holding real guns. The photograph is partially burned, the lower left corner is missing. A small piece of arabic script is visible on something that is sticked to a wall behind the kids.

Below that another quote in black 'a gripping... amazing piece of storytelling'  and in red italics Independent 

Below that in black the authors name
