Paperback. Condizione: Good. 'By far the best book on Mumbai Mafia.' - Anil Kapoor 'If it wasn't for this book there would be no Shootout at Wadala.' - Sanjay Gupta 'Hussain Zaidi is a master storyteller.' - John Abraham Dongri to Dubai is the first ever attempt to chronicle the history of the Mumbai mafia. It is the story of notorious gangsters like Haji Mastan, Karim Lala, Varadarajan Mudaliar, Chhota Rajan, Abu Salem, but above all, it is the story of a young man who went astray despite having a father in the police force. Dawood Ibrahim was initiated into crime as a pawn in the hands of the Mumbai police and went on to wipe out the competition and eventually became the Mumbai police's own nemesis. The narrative encompasses several milestones in the history of crime in India, from the rise of the Pathans, formation of the Dawood gang, the first ever supari, mafia's nefarious role in Bollywood, Dawood's move to Karachi, and Pakistan's subsequent alleged role in sheltering one of the most wanted persons in the world. This story is primarily about how a boy from Dongri became a don in Dubai, and captures his bravado, cunningness, focus, ambition, and lust for power in a gripping narrative. The meticulously researched book provides an in-depth and comprehensive account of the mafia's games of supremacy and internecine warfare.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. About The BookFollowing the triumph of Dongri To Dubai, S. Hussain Zaidi is all set to woo readers with his new book, Byculla To Bangkok. Its captivating plot revolves around the reality behind the lives of Mumbai gangsters and how they became that way.This book trails the rather innocent childhoods of criminals like Chota Rajan, Arun Gawli, Ashwin Naik and many more, who were popular mafia leaders of the Mumbai underworld. How their callow and ingenuous minds were subjected to crime and violence, so much that it became part of their identities, is very effectively captured in this narration.Inhumanity and deception are prevalently portrayed in the book, showing why these lads became vengeful. The story describes the means by which they grew into a family of organized criminals, powerful enough to hold an entire city under bribery and extortion. The contrast between their simple beginnings and later lives of atrocities makes Byculla To Bangkok a compelling read.Being the business capital of India, Mumbai is a relatively perfect setting for violence and transgressions to take place. The author makes good use of this fact to present an intense account of the kind of lives one does not generally hear about. Expressing the subjugation of juvenile minds with a fierce sense of realism, he manages to answer a lot of questions about the reasons why one decides to live a life of crime. The book was published on 20th February, 2014 and is available in paperback.Key FeaturesThis book is the much-awaited sequel to Hussain Zaidi's book, Dongri To Dubai. The book records the life and times of Mumbai's underworld gangsters.…
