      Focusing on the state-socialist system, this book analyzes the Soviet Union as a primary example of Marxism-Leninism in practice. It explores the interplay between the ideology's goals and values and the unique institutions that emerged, alongside the economic and political structures that defined the era. The examination provides insights into how these elements shaped the development of a socialist industrial state.

      Lane shows how globalisation has transformed the Mafia into more than simply a local phenomenon. It describes in painful detail the daily accommodation to Mafia pressure endured by priests, politicians and prosecutors, businessmen, trade unionists and ordinary citizens. At the same time he incorporates a portrait of the South's long and tumultuous history and powerful flavours to provide a richly coloured portrait of a European region under siege.

      L’ombra del potere racconta la carriera dell’uomo più ricco d’Italia. Un libro sconvolgente che parla di politica, affari, corruzione e mafia. «Il libro - sobrio, preciso e meticolosamente documentato - è ricco di fatti talmente straordinari e inquietanti che, se l’autore non avesse una conoscenza così approfondita dell’Italia, risulterebbero incredibili. L’ombra del potere è di piacevole lettura e di grande impatto». Caroline Moorehead, “Spectator” «Quanto di più convincente io abbia letto sulla preoccupante condizione dell’odierna democrazia italiana». John Dickie, “Literary Review” «Tutta l’Europa dovrebbe riflettere seriamente su quanto sta avvenendo alla democrazia nell’Italia di Berlusconi». Joseph Farrell, “Sunday Herald”
