Yakuza: Japan's Criminal Underworld
David E. Kaplan
Known for their striking full-body tattoos, Japan's gangsters comprise a criminal class eighty thousand strong - more than four times the size of the American mafia. This title tells the story of Japan's crime syndicates, from their feudal start as bands of medieval outlaws to their emergence as billion-dollar investors in real estate, and more.
