Mobs of the World
May 14th, 2008




This forthcoming book on the Yakuza sounds pretty good. But it does get one wondering: Which international crime syndicate is the scariest? The Mafia, the Russian mob, or the Yakuza? (I won’t even count welterweights like MS-13 or the Aryans.)

On first blush, I’d guess the Russians because they’re stocked full of ex-professional spooks and soldiers, who are probably a cut above career criminals in intelligence and training. Plus, Stalingrad.
