Very well researched book about Victor Bout, the gun-runner. He made a fortune supplying the child armies of Africa as well as insurgent groups in the Middle East

An informative look at weapons trade with an even look at the issue. Farah's writing is brisk and fast-paced.

Farah pulls no punches when explaining that political climate often says one thing but conveniently looks the other way when it comes to getting things done.
