Title: The Last Yakuza
Author: Jake Adelstein;
Year: 2016
Description:
The Last Yakuza tells the history of the yakuza like it's never been told before. Makoto Saigo is half-American and half-Japanese in small-town Japan with a set of talents limited to playing guitar and picking fights. With rock stardom off the table, he turns toward the only place where you can start from the bottom and move up through sheer merit, loyalty, and brute forcthe yakuza. Saigo, nicknamed "The Tsunami", quickly realises that even within the organisation, opinions are as varied as they come, and a clash of philosophies can quickly become deadly. One screw-up can cost you your life, or at least a finger. The internal politics of the yakuza are dizzyingly complex, and between the ever-shifting web of alliances and the encroaching hand of the law that pushes them further and further underground, Saigo finds himself in the middle of a defining decades-long battle that will determine the future of the yakuza. Written with the insight of an expert on Japanese organised crime and the compassion of a longtime friend, investigative journalist Jake Adelstein presents a sprawling biography of a yakuza, through postwar desperation, to bubble-era optimism, to the present. Including a cast of memorable yakuza bosseThe Coach, The Buddha, and morthis is a story about the rise and fall of a man, a country, and a dishonest but sometimes honourable way of life on the brink of being lost.
