Krátky popis
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.
