Jak může začínající šéf kartelu uspět (a přežít) v 300miliardovém nelegálním drogovém byznysu? Samozřejmě tak, že se učí od těch nejlepších. Lidé v čele kartelů se v otázkách, jakými jsou vytváření hodnoty značky nebo vyladění služeb zákazníkům, pozorně učili od úspěšných korporací typu Walmart, McDonalds nebo Coca-Cola. ***** Čtenářovým neohroženým průvodcem po jednom z nejbrutálnějších světových odvětví je Tom Wainwright, který se prodírá andskými kokainovými poli, středoamerickými věznicemi, coloradskými obchody s marihuanou a internetovými drogovými doupaty darknetu. Přináší tak svěží a neotřelý pohled na obchod s drogami a jeho 250 milionů zákazníků. ***** Mezi postavy jeho knihy patří bolívijský „Bin Ládin“, vůdce salvadorského gangu „Starý Lin“, milionářský výrobce pilulek z Nového Zélandu přezdívaný „Starboy“ a přívětivá mexická babička, která vaří borůvkové palačinky a zároveň plánuje vraždu. Ti spolu s prezidenty, policisty a náctiletými zabijáky vysvětlují takové věci, jako je obchodní význam tetování od hlavy až k patě, jak se gangy rozhodují, zda si budou konkurovat, nebo se spolčí, a proč kartely překvapivě tolik dbají na společenskou odpovědnost firem.

"Putin's Wars is a timely overview of the conflicts in which Russia has been involved since Vladimir Putin became prime minister and then president of Russia, from the First Chechen War to the two military incursions into Georgia, the annexation of Crimea and the eventual invasion of Ukraine itself. But it also looks more broadly at Putin's recreation of Russian military power and its expansion to include a range of new capabilities, from mercenaries to operatives in a relentless information war against Western powers. This is an engrossing strategic overview of a rejuvenated Russian military and the successes and failures on the battlefield"-- Provided by publisher
