An incredibly thorough and shocking account of the Aum Shinrikyo cult up through their sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway in 1995. A bit dryly written which contrasts a bit harshly with absolutely bonkers story being told, but otherwise an extremely interesting book.
This book is amazing. The corruption in Japan is unfathomable! My view of Japan has changed after having read this book. Not finished yet, but the extent of the influence of the Yakuza is chillingly horrific! How can one of the world's leading economic powerhouses allow itself to be intimidated by criminals?
Good intro to the Japanese yakuza underworld and its connection to conservative politicians and the CIA.
