<p>“No one has covered Sweden's violent gang wars with as much insight, nuance and empathy as Diamant Salihu. His book is a cinematic tale of shady characters, blood feuds and international intrigue, all set in a Scandinavian welfare state fraying at the edges. A must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of European organized crime.”<br /><b>Sune Engel Rasmussen, Security Correspondent for the <i><i>Wall Street Journal</i></i> and author of <i>Twenty Years: Hope, War and the Betrayal of an Afghan Generation</i><br /><br /></b>“Mandatory reading for anyone who wants to understand the mechanisms of gang crime … with an energy that makes it hard to put down.”<br /><b>Jönköpings-Posten<br /></b><br />“The story [Diamant Salihu] has pursued for the last decade is, in effect, one giant, unsolved murder mystery: why has Sweden, long the envy of the rest of Europe for its peace and prosperity, suddenly seeing so many gangland killings?”<br /><b><i>The</i> Telegraph</b><br /><br />“Salihu tells a story not of heroes and villains but of the brave and the cowardly, where no one has an unlimited wellspring of either trait.” <br /><b>Charlie Bentley-Astor, <i>The Critic</i></b></p>
