The move abroad.Known for their striking full-body tattoos and severed fingertips, Japan's gangsters comprise a criminal class eighty thousand strong--more than four times the size of the American mafia. Despite their criminal nature, the yakuza are accepted by fellow Japanese to a degree guaranteed to shock most Westerners. Yakuza is the first book to reveal the extraordinary reach of Japan's Mafia. Originally published in 1986, it was so controversial in Japan that it could not be published there for five years. But in the west it has long served as the standard reference on Japanese organized crime and has inspired novels, screenplays, and criminal investigations. This twenty-fifth anniversary edition tells the full story or Japan's remarkable crime syndicates, from their feudal start as bands of medieval outlaws to their emergence as billion-dollar investors in real estate, big business, art, and more.YakuzaJapanHistoryYakuzaHistoryOrganized crimeJapanHistoryCrimeJapanHistoryGangsJapanHistoryElectronic books.YakuzaHistory.YakuzaHistory.Organized crimeHistory.CrimeHistory.GangsHistory.364.1060952Kaplan David E282937Dubro Alec1035066MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453160403321Yakuza2454570UNINA01967oam 2200517M 450 991071634580332120200213070612.1(CKB)5470000002520678(OCoLC)1065969076(OCoLC)995470000002520678(EXLCZ)99547000000252067820071213d1926 ua 0engurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrier"To Provide for the Prompt Disposition of Disputes between Carriers and Their Employees, and for Other Purposes."
