A gripping and urgent investigation into the secretive world of the
global arms trade - from a former member of the African National
Congress. Revealing the corruption and the cover-ups at the heart of
ex-President Jacob Zuma's South Africa Andrew Feinstein delves behind
BAE's controversial transactions in South Africa, Tanzania and eastern
Europe and the revolving-door relationships that characterise the US
Congressional-Military-Industrial Complex. The Shadow World exposes both
the formal government-backed trade in arms as well as the illicit deals
and lays bare the shocking links between the two. 'Essential reading
for anyone who cares about justice, transparency and accountability in
both the public and private spheres, and for anyone who believes that it
is more important to invest in saving lives than in the machinery of
death' Archbishop Desmond Tutu' Andrew Feinstein has written an
authoritative guide to the business of war.
Chilling,
heartbreaking and enraging' Arundhati Roy 'The nobility and justice of
Feinstein's sentiments are indisputable. The arms trade is a loathsome
commerce conducted by people who wear suits and occupy big boardroom
tables, but should have trouble sleeping at night' Max Hastings, Sunday
Times' Remarkable and courageous . . . The Shadow World is a
heroic book by an author who, in writing it, has put himself in the
firing line' Iain Macwhirter 'Feinstein's book is a singularly powerful
study, and deserves to be read by anyone who wants to see light shining
on such a shadowy world' Independent
