The digital audiobook edition of Andrew Feinstein's powerful exposé, The Shadow World: Inside the Global Arms Trade, complete and unabridged and read by the actor Gildart Jackson.

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.

Praise for Andrew Feinstein's After the Party (-)
Chronicles a dream sabotaged by the graft, shenanigans and deceit of a £5 billion arms procurement
A damning exposure of the shocking effects of the arms trade on a new democracy. Brave and compelling
A truth-seeking missile. It reveals how much courage is required to swim against the sycophantic tide. To many it's clear he is a hero

It is too long by about 5 hours. Whilst Andrew has an obvious grasp of the subject and has researched this extensively. You still cannot feel that he is hitting the easy targets first. Europe and America, he covers them extremely well but misses the irony that all the so called, 'shadow' deals, are all too in the public sphere and are so sensitive that they can be published in a book and he not be sued. He starts to cover the other main areas but it reads more like a history book than a serious look at this world. He misses our secrecy jurisdictions and aged Russian plans and why the West seems unable to act and then suddenly does. Whislt I would recommend it, it is at best a second rate book.

Good - but too long and anti western

Organised crime, AKA, world business practice. Don't feel that the arms industry is all bad, so are most businesses when you dig deep enough! The business world doesn't revolve with smiles and hand shakes alone, they all need their cut to make it feel worthwhile.

Face the truth about the world we live in.

Thoroughly researched and extremely well written. Everyone should know about this scandal that Eisenhower warned us about so presciently.

At times long winded and hard to follow but very insightful. Gives a good broad overview. I want to applaud the author for taking on such a convoluted and I'm sure at times dangerous topic.

Very informative
