Description
The first book about the Japanese mafia, told from an outsider’s perspective. Jake Adelstein is an investigative journalist who spent more than ten years working for Japan’s biggest newspaper, Yomiuri Shimbun. He was the first foreigner to whom Japan entrusted a criminal beat, and he became famous for reporting on the yakuza and the underground economy.
In The Last Yakuza, Adelstein traces the fate of Makoto Saigo—a member of a criminal clan who makes an almost impossible decision: to try to break away from “the family.” This journey takes you into a world where a code of honor is valued above life, and weakness is paid for with blood. Intraclan feuds, betrayals, harsh rules, and the yakuza’s unseen influence on the country are shown from the inside—through testimony and the experience of an eyewitness.
From the audiobook, you will learn:
• How an ordinary person gets drawn into a criminal “family.”
• What awaits those who decide to leave the clan.
• Why the yakuza remain a force that even the state has to reckon with.
