Any newspaper anywhere in the world any day carries news about illegal migrants drug busts smuggled weapons laundered money or counterfeit goods The intense media coverage devoted to the war on terrorism has helped to obscure the other new wars of globalisation.Illicit international trade pits governments against agile well-financed networks of highly dedicated individuals. Religious zeal or political goals drive terrorists but profit is no less a motivator for murder mayhem and global insecurity than religious fanaticism.
Illicit is the first book to reveal the full scale of this dark underground. It uncovers the connections between illegal industries and shows how they join forces to breed new lines of business feed off political instability foster violence and enable terrorism.

And how in our free modern world have over 30 million women and children - in South East Asia alone - been trafficked in the past ten years?
