<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Journalist Greenfeld exposes elements of Japanese culture that most Westerners never knew existed--the gangsters who control Japan's drug trade, a lucrative porn industry, and more. Greenfeld uncovers a Japan out of kilter with the orderly society of popular conception, and teaches how Japan's once miraculous economy has given rise to a predatory subculture. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This foray into the often violent subcultures of Japan dramatically debunks the Western perception of a seemingly controlled and orderly society.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A grippingly fresh portrait of an unseen country...As faces and stories accumulate like mosaic tiles, Japan's netherworld emerges with almost unbelievable vividness.""--Washington Post Book World"<br>
