Book description
Ross Kemp squares up to the world's hardest streetfighters in Gangs...
Across the world millions of people are members of street gangs. In
groups they fight, stab, rob, rape and murder anyone who isn't one of
their own. And when rival gangs meet - what you get is warfare.
Ross Kemp, whose dad was a copper and taught him right from wrong,
decided to infiltrate these secret underworld organizations to
discover who they are, what makes them tick and what the law is doing
to curb their criminal activity. On his harrowing journey he:
meets murderous members of the Number gang in a Cape Town jail
crosses paths with warlords in Guatemala
gets shot at in El Salvador
is set on fire as an initiation test for Russian Neo-Nazis
Only TV hardman Ross Kemp could get this close to the world's most
violent street gangs: he's tough enough to earn their trust and so get
them to confide their innermost secrets. It's a wild ride - and not
for the faint hearted.
