In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: Fair. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. ONE MAN AGAINST THE MOB. THE STORY BEHIND THE STORIES.Crime bosses, Mafia hit men, drug merchants, illegal bookmakers, as well as people in power - all have tried to stop Bob Bottom.As Australia's top investigative reporter he has been subjected to more threats, smears and vilification than probably any other individual in Australian journalistic history.This book tells the inside story of his crusade and disclosures on organised crime. the illegal the Age Tapes; secret Federal and State Police tapes; undercover police operations against vested interests in organised crime; the confusion about judicial crime inquiries; the tantalising media headlines; and so forth.Bob Bottom's knowledge of the chilling spread of racketeering and corruption is unequalled. He tells these stories plainly, in the public interest, without fear or favour.This, then, is a book that is a disturbing account of disturbing events.It should be essential reading for everybody concerned about the frightening spread of organised crime and its threat to Australian society. It is also a vindication of the actions of Bob Bottom - and of a.ll the honest cops and concerned professionals who have fought against the Mr Bigs and the Mr Big-Enoughs, yet who may still lose the fight if we are not all careful.
