The Most Dangerous Man In the World - Book Reviews,
by Gilbert King
The Most Dangerous Man in the World FROM THE PUBLISHER This is the never-before-told story of one of the world's most reviled terrorists and gangsters -- Dawood Ibrahim. Several writers, including Daniel Pearl, have attempted to write about this mysterious criminal, but they have routinely disappeared. Now, Gilbert King finally reveals the secrets of Ibrahim's life -- from his wild all-night parties with prostitutes and top-shelf liquor, to his Islamic extremism, to his violent and deadly activities -- resulting in a true crime account that will both shock and terrify. An impoverished street tough from Bombay who grew up to possess international influence, Ibrahim formed the infamous 'D Company,' one of the most feared international crime organizations in the world. A colorful mobster with powerful friends -- ranging from Bollywood film stars to members of the Pakistani government -- his alleged crimes include murder, kidnapping, drug smuggling, and trafficking in nuclear secrets. It is widely believed that Ibrahim masterminded the 1993 Bombay serial blasts, when twelve car bombs killed almost three hundred Indian citizens and injured over a thousand more. Until September 11, 2001, this was the most destructive terrorist act in modern history. For years Ibrahim has been on Interpol's Most Wanted list, and he recently became the subject of a U.S. intelligence probe. Now, for the first time anywhere in the world, The Most Dangerous Man in the World tells the horrifying true story of Dawood Ibrahim.
