Miguel Arán
Comfortably installed among myths and taboos, the yakuza is not only one of the largest and most renowned criminal institutions, it is also among the most effective and sophisticated in the world.
This volume concentrates all the information needed to understand the functioning of these organizations. Starting from their common traditions, their typical organizational structure or the profile of their protagonists; and continuing through all those milestones that have marked their history from the origins to the present day. It also offers the keys to explain the fit of the institution in the society that has seen it born, and to the rhythm of which it has been evolving.
As a complement, the last third of the book summarizes the plot of the first seven numbered installments of the Yakuza video game saga, developed by SEGA. Its intricate plots are meticulously unravelled, to the point where it is easy to find parallels between the game's 'families' and its real-world counterparts.
