Pulling back the curtain on the secretive world of the global arms trade, Andrew
Feinstein reveals the corruption and the cover-ups behind weapons deals ranging from the
largest in history - between the British and Saudi governments - to BAE's controversial
transactions in South Africa, Tanzania and eastern Europe, and the revolving-door
relationships that characterise the US Congressional-Military-Industrial Complex. He
exposes in forensic detail both the formal government-to-government trade in arms and the
shadow world of illicit weapons dealing - and lays bare the shocking and inextricable
links between the two. The Shadow World places us in the midst of the
arms trade's dramatic wheeling and dealing, ranging from corporate boardrooms to seedy
out-of-the-way hotels via far-flung offshore havens, and reveals the profound danger this
network represents to all of us.
