"For many, the arms trade and its dealers are the root cause for regional wars and global terrorism. In both public and academic debates, arms dealers are considered immoral as they profit from conflict, due to their key position in the international arms trading business. Nevertheless, there seems to be little to no interest in the personal lives of those actively involved. In his criminological biography of a certified arms dealer, Yarin Eski provides in-depth, interdisciplinary approach to and understanding of the global arms trade, revealing a deep insider view in a wider socio-cultural context. From early discussions of childhood and career choices, to reflections on becoming and being an arms trader, Eski offers a methodologically embedded approach, and advances biographical writing in the field of Criminology. It is a unique and though-provoking contribution to the fields of criminology, ethnography, sociology, critical security studies, policing studies, war studies and international politics, and offers an unparalleled insight from within"--

Recenzijas

Importantly this book is not just a biography, it is a criminological biography. It fits well within the significant presence of biographical work in the discipline. In so doing this book offers a deeply theorised, reflective and personal account of the lives of both biographer and biographee. It falls into the category of required reading for anyone claiming the label of criminologist.

What do we really know about arms dealers? A seemingly self-evident demonisation of an occupation that has a crucial role to play in wars goes hand in hand with a complete lack of understanding of people that actually deal in arms. Within the social sciences N=1 studies are frowned upon and biography is a scarcely applied method. Is there a better way though to retrieve an insight into the all too human life of someone who does his daily work in the often hidden world of arms dealing? These are also people of flesh and blood, with their subjective reasoning, doubts and beliefs. Yarin Eski gets to know the arms dealer Constantine, builds up a strong rapport and fires away questions during a long series of interviews with him. A unique book!
