2 stars for me.

An interesting beginning to setting up of Ireland's Criminal Assets Bureau,and fight against the crime.After few chapters I got all mix up with the amount of money criminals had,that's scary.Good to read once and have some knowledge.

A fascinating account of the events leading upto the setting up of Ireland's Criminal Assets Bureau and the subsequent struggles to fight against the organised crime fraternity and underworld mob bosses, a definitive history of modern gangsters and crime lords of Ireland with in depth background into the major crime players and if and how they were eventually caught out.
A great read and a fascinating insight into a life of crime and how for a time the criminals eluded the law.

I thought this book was very well researched...I don't think that Paul William is a good writer tho, a lot of spelling mistakes, I had to re-read sentences several times to try and figure out what the author was trying to get across but i found it this book very interesting.

[Triona]

real eye opener.

I wish the Philippines had this kind of POLICE. The CAB is one of the marvels in the contemporary era of policing.
