"The New War" is a powerful warning that global crime is robbing us not only of our money but also of our way of life. As a result of his Senate investigations and access to law enforcement agencies, Senator John Kerry has seen the dark world of dirty money, violence, and corruption up close.

He explains how law enforcement and judicial institutions must be reformed structurally to defeat vicious criminals.
