The book
Where you see a drama, they see an opportunity. Wars, epidemics, embargos, and corruption: chaos is their stock in trade. All over the world, in its grey, opaque and criminal zones, ambitious fortune hunters are adapting to the surrounding chaos. 
In this inquiry lead on a global scale, the authors lift the veil on the dark side of globalization by introducing us to countless scoops and making us discover numerous colorful and highly influential personalities who, unbeknownst to the public, thrive in a parallel world of lucrative and nefarious enterprises: there is money laundering, misinformation, drug or petrol trafficking, private defense contractors, mercenaries, piracy, even former Jihadists reconverted into small time crooks profiteering from the COVID pandemic. There are autocracies instrumentalizing sports or religion as an access to the front row of the international scene and even states that have become the empire of drug lords.
These apex predators, French and Foreign alike, have been discreetly fanning the flames of international and political conflicts, and are at least partially responsible for the crisis we are going through at the moment.
For four years, the authors have followed these networks in over 15 countries, gathering countless undisclosed documents and new elements that show the origins and mechanisms of these organizations exemplifying the destabilization of the world order.
