Summary
Roberto Saviano: Gomorrah
Young Italian journalist Roberto Saviano spent almost two years working in textile and construction companies controlled by the Neapolitan mafia. The result is this interesting book that provides a remarkable insight into the Camorra organization itself. All sectors of human life are controlled by powerful clans in a shocking and brutal manner. General unemployment, lack of all social amenities and pervasive hopelessness help the leaders of the Camorra manage their empire more easily. Because of the details revealed in this book and because of the courage with which he expressed his disagreement with the existing situation, Saviano has been living under police protection since 2006.
