Entertaining book on Dawood--one bad man!

Fascinating read. Initially, I thought some of the author's claims about Dawood Ibrahim were purely speculative--especially the nuclear black market chapter. But the Times of India recently did a story about this book and intelligence sources confirmed Dawood's involvement. This is frightening. Some of the book is hard to follow since the major figures all have aliases, and the Indian press is notorious for getting stories wrong. (I especially love the chapter where Rajan is reported dead for days, then gives an interview from his yacht in Europe!) Indian journalism is as entertaining as Bollywood itself! The connections between Ibrahim and Osama Bin Ladin/al Queda are very interesting too, and it's a good thing the US is finally taking Ibrahim seriously as a terrorist. I would have liked to know more about how Ibrahim's D Company really gained its power in Bombay, but it is understandable how no journalists have had success penetrating Dawood's world. After reading this not very long book, it's clear that Dawood Ibrahim really is very bad man!

Timely and disturbing book. Pakistan won't like it.

Perhaps now western media will begin to understand the power and influence of Dawood Ibrahim. Pakistan gladly hosts this dangerous terrorist and he pays off the Pakistani government with billions reaped from opium and other illegal businesses. Most Dangerous Man in the World presents an accurate and horrifying picture of the man who has the power to corrupt governments, advance his terrorist agenda and make himself and his D Company bhais rich. As the author points out, it is probably just a matter of time until the world learns the name of Dawood Ibrahim. This book also paints a disturbing picture of Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence and its involvement with Dawood. Pakistan will not like this book because there is a great deal to answer to. I highly recommend anyone interested in current events, especially concerning terrorism to read this paperback. It is timely and up to date and a solid investigation into the inner workings of a true global terrorist.
