Gangs of Jamaica - The Babylonian Wars. (Jamaica Insula Book 6)

"Thibault Ehrengardt pens a provocative work that transcends the violence and mayhem that bleed through its every page. This is clinical journalism. It is insightful, investigative and written with sheer brilliance. It is how a story should be told. It is raw and cutting, dragging the reader into the trenches of an urban battlefield."

G. Ashby, The Gleaner.

Jamaica— 1,500 murders a year—200 active gangs—one of the most dangerous countries in the world.

THE BOOK : A few years after the downfall of the most importantgodfather of the island, the author went to Jamaica to patrol the most volatile areas with the police and to meet several gang leaders—he tried to understand the general situation. In Jamaica, 3 million people live under the yoke of organized crime and a bunch of ruthless politicians. Politics in Jamaica? The root of all evil.

THE AUTHOR : Thibault Ehrengardt, former chief editor of the European leading reggae magazine from 2000 to 2010, free-lance journalist, head ofDREAD Editions and author of several books about Jamaica, including the first History of the island published in French in more than 200 years.
