Nothing mentioned in the book is new if one has read any other book on organized crime but it is a rare book that describes the situation in a higly readable and understandable way. Problem is that current (brute force) approach seems to be very profitable for other participants (weapon manufacturers and more than prospering security industry to name the few) and usable as leverage in inter-state relations. There is no profit, immediate victories or glamour in social projects and developments that are the only true instruments to achieve victory in controlling the illegal drug market. While direct action has its place and role, be it military or police,these are supportive activities. State policy (and in general state policies) must not be based solely on these - they are to be used as means to achieve the goal, ways to dismantle crime in areas that are highly contestable and where state has lost influence. But social policy and plans are the true means to root out the crime and cannot be substituted by anything else.
Unfortunately until governments decide they should change their approach and plan to achieve long-term goals (instead of concentrating on short-term, administration single cycle time-span, goals) it is not possible to fight the crime effectively.
