We live in their buildings, work in their companies, shop in their stores, eat in their restaurants, and elect politicians they fund. So why have so few ever heard of the 'Ndrangheta? Founded 140 years ago in Italy's toe, the Calabrian mafia's $100 billion global empire relies on a code of silence enforced by family and violent misogyny. Girls are married off as teens to seal clan alliances. Women who rebel are executed to ?erase the family shame.?When Lea Garofalo ?disappears? after testifying against her husband, prosecutor Alessandra Cerreti becomes convinced that the 'Ndrangheta's sexism could be its greatest flaw. Alessandra sets out to persuade two more mafia mothers to give evidence, humble the 'Ndrangheta, and expose it to the world. The stakes could not be higher. A prosecutor is fighting for her nation. The mafiosi are fighting for their existence. The women are fighting for their lives. Not all will survive.

You are born into it or marry in. Loyalty is absolute, bloodshed revered and you kill or go to your grave before betraying The Family. This code of omerta is how the 'Ndrangheta became the world's most powerful mafia. The Good Mothers is the story of the women who broke the silence.

A vivid, powerful and controversial look at how the world gets Africa wrong, and how a resurgent Africa is forcing us to think again

Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, international corporations and governments have embraced the idea of a global village: a shrinking, booming world in which everyone benefits. What if that's not the case? Alex Perry, award-winning foreign correspondent, travels from the South China Sea to the highlands of Afghanistan to the Sahara to see first-hand globalization at the sharp end -- and it's not pretty. Whether it's Shenzen, China's boom city where sweatshops pay under-age workers less than $4 a day, or Bombay, where the gap between rich and poor means million-dollar apartments overlook million-people slums, or on the high seas with the pirates of southeast Asia who prey on the world's central trade artery, or South Africa, where Mandela's dream for a Rainbow Nation is being crushed by a new economic apartheid, Perry demonstrates, vividly and chillingly, that for every winner in our brave new world, there are hundreds of millions of losers. And be they Chinese army veterans, Indian Maoist rebels or the Somali branch of al Qaeda, they are all very, very angry. Falling Off the Edge is an adrenaline-charged journey through the developing world, which reveals with clarity that globalization starts wars. Far from living in a time of peace and prosperity, Perry suggests, the boom is about to go bang.
