This book shows beyond doubt the connection between America's top crime 'bosses' and their Australian equivalents.

Organised crime is a frightening fact of life in Australia. The petty, backstreet racketeering of Australia's cities has become a sophisticated business of enormous proportions, where drugs, prostitution, gambling and pornography are the products for which an unwitting and unconscionable public pay untold millions of dollars annually. This is a business run by common crooks - with the assistance of big names in politics, business and the police.

This book sets out to reveal as much as is legally possible about this ugly state of affairs, describing how it began, where it is today and what it is likely to become if something radical isn't done soon.
