If you tried to write the same book about MS-13 you'd be dead before you got to the second page.

- tsotha 14y agoThere's a difference between writing a book about a gang and actually talking to them. Adelstein went and interviewed Yakuza members about their business, talked to sex workers, and talked to cops who explained how things work.
