Book Description
A brutal saga of unremitting avarice, corruption, violence and murder combined with the callous exploitation of vast numbers of narcotics addicts in Middle East, Europe and USA. A narrative of organized crime, operated by experts and superabundantly lucrative to the criminal elements involved. A young man, through greed for wealth, plus a feeble conscience, is lured into this maelstrom of moral degeneration and succumbs to complete self-gratification, gradually becoming one of the leading participants in this vicious system under the willing guidance of his tutors in crime. The desperate trail meanders from Egypt to Sicily, Corsica and Marseilles, leading to Paris and the ultimate depredation of Europe by the drug cartel. The fi nal act of this episode opens in Miami, USA. It is suggested that the moral behind this epic is not that CRIME DOES NOT PAY but rather that it pays to know plenty and to keep your mouth well shut!

Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and Africa
Author: Chris Saunders
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110787903
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
It is now widely recognised that a Cold War perspective falls short in unfolding the complex geographies of connections and the multipolarity of actions and transactions that were shaped through the movement of individuals and ideas from Africa to the "East" and from the "East" to Africa in the decades in which African countries moved to independence. Adopting an interdisciplinary, transregional perspective, this volume casts new light on aspects of the role of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union in the decolonisation of Africa. Taking further themes explored in a collection of essays published by the editors in 2019, the twelve case studies by authors from South Africa, Czech Republic, Portugal, Russia, Hungary, Italy, Canada, Serbia, and Germany draw on new sources to explore the history of the ties that existed between African liberation movements and the socialist bloc, some of which continue to influence relationships today. Chapters contribute to three relevant main themes that resonate in a number of scholarly fields of inquiry, ranging from Global Studies, Transregional Studies, Cold War Studies, (Global) History to African Studies, Eastern European, Russian and Slavic Studies: Reconsiderations, Resources, and Reverberations. Drawing upon newly opened archives and combining transregional perspectives with sources in different languages, chapters explicitly point out the shortcomings of past research and debates in the respective field. They highlight new avenues which have been developing and which need to be further developed (Reconsiderations). Selected case studies address the resources of those being active and involved in decolonisation processes, be it in East, North, West and South. They reveal: Which resources (both material and intellectual) are the actors drawing upon? On the other hand: From which resources are individuals on one side or the other reciprocally or intermittently (intentionally) kept away? (Resources). Finally, the third theme puts an emphasis on the historicity of the processes depicted. Studies point to the gaps and dead ends of international support, the paths that peter out, but also to repercussions and reverberations up until today. (Reverberations) Taken these three themes together, the individual chapters contribute to the overall question of: Which general historical narratives about the second half of the 20th century are changing based on these new research findings?
