Jake Adelstein is an investigative journalist who worked for over ten years at Japan's largest newspaper, the Yomiuri Shimbun. He was the first foreign reporter permitted to cover crime in Japan and is known for his high-profile investigations into the mafia and the country's shadow economy.
In "The Last Yakuza," Adelstein uncovers the story of Makoto Saigo, a man who spent his entire life in a crime clan but then tried to leave. This book will take you through Japan's criminal underworld, where honor is more valuable than life, and the punishment for weakness is death. Internal wars, betrayals, bloody laws, and the yakuza's hidden power over all of Japan—all revealed from the inside through the eyes of an eyewitness.

In this book, you will learn:
- How an ordinary person becomes part of a criminal "family."
- What happens to those who decide to break with the clan.
- Why the yakuza remain a force feared even by the state.
