Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan by Jake Adelstein

4.0

An absolutely fascinating look at organized crime in Japan. I stumbled across this book from another interesting article, "Yakuza Review the Sega Video Game, Yakuza 3". That article struck me as being authentic and down to earth; it intrigued me enough to see what else Adelstein has written. A friend on a forum recommended Tokyo Vice, and I don't regret spending the last six hours reading it straight through.

Excellent book, and highly recommended to anyone who wishes to know a little bit more about the Yakuza. It's very vividly written and a page-turner.
