ADDITIONAL PRAISE FOR THE SHADOW WORLD

“Gripping … Feinstein has succeeded in writing a book that analyzes the international arms market with a level of detail and a degree of referencing that may well be unique—what you rarely find in a book aimed at a wide readership.… It is a singularly powerful study and deserves to be read by anyone who wants to see light shining on such a shadowy world.… Impressive.”

—Paul Rogers, The Independent (London)

“There is enough in Feinstein’s book for a dozen film pitches. Bizarre characters leap from the page.… Remarkable and courageous … A heroic book by an author who, in writing it, has placed himself in the firing line.”

—The Sunday Herald (Scotland)

“I initially expected that the title The Shadow World was hyperbolic. It is not. What Feinstein describes is the underbelly of globalization.… The facts are so astonishing that they speak for themselves.”

—Alex de Waal, The Times Literary Supplement (London)

“A highly pertinent, deeply damning indictment of the flourishing of the world’s ‘second oldest profession’ … Feinstein’s book is sound, timely, and invaluable. Diligent readers will be rewarded.”

—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“The Shadow World peels back the veil of secrecy behind which the global arms trade undermines accountable democracy, socioeconomic development, and human rights, causing suffering across the world.… This book is essential reading for anyone who cares about justice, transparency, and accountability in both the public and private spheres, and for anyone who believes that it is more important to invest in saving lives than in the machinery of death.”

—Archbishop Desmond Tutu
