Publisher's Note
Traces the more than two-thousand-year history of the Triads, the one-time Chinese secret society that has evolved into an international criminal fraternity, bound by ritual and archaic oaths, involved in world-wide extortion, gambling, prostitution, money laundering, fraud, narcotics, immigrant smuggling, and other criminal enterprises. Reprint.

Industry Reviews
"In THE DRAGON SYNDICATES, Martin Booth has made an enormous contribution to clarifying our thinking....What we don't need in thinking about the triads is ethnic smearing, and Booth effectively avoids this. I found much of the material in this book a revelation. Others should, too."
Washington Post Book World - James R. Lilley (10/08/2000)
