Product Description

Product Description
Ross Kemp once again squares up to the world's deadliest gangsters in this breathtaking follow up to the bestselling Gangs. This time his travels take him as close to home as Liverpool and as far away as Colombia and East Timor. And the gangs he meets just get meaner: * Ross is tear-gassed investigating Polish Neo-Nazi football thugs * In Columbia he meets the Sicarios, who'll kill for a few pesos * A gun is shoved in his face in Los Angeles * He's shown how to make a crossbow in East Timor Risking his life, Ross goes deep into the realms of gangland culture, and in this nail-biting and jaw-dropping book, he meets some of the most frightening men in the world.

About the Author
Born in Essex in 1964, Ross Kemp is best known for his portrayal of Grant Mitchell in EastEnders. His father was a senior detective with the Metropolitan Police force, and as a result crime has always fascinated Kemp. Ross Kemp on Gangs is an award-winning series on Sky One.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ross Kemp takes you into the deadly world on gangs, 30 Oct 2008
By Daniel Storey "Book_Worm_Daniel" (Rochester, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Gangs II (Hardcover)
Ross Kemp has spent the last few years travelling around the world to meet gangs from some of the most dangerous places on the planet.
This is Ross 2nd book on the subject and it accompanies the TV series shown on Sky1
In this book Ross documents his visits to Colombia, LA California, Poland, Kenya and Liverpool.
In Colombia he goes to the slums to meet a group called the paramiltlies who claim they have laid down their arms in an attempt at peace but Ross discovers otherwise.
In LA he meets up with the Black, Mexican and Latino gangs that are turning the southern part of LA into a war zone.
In Poland he meets up with the hooligans of Polish football who are causing the same mayhem on terraces in Poland that the English hooligans caused on the terraces in England during the 1970's, 1980's. And 1990's.
In Kenya Ross visits during the most turbulent time in the country's history and speaks to tribal group members who claim they are looking after the poor people who have been abandoned by a alleged corrupt government.
Ross also learns about the glue kids living in Kenya' slums.
In Liverpool he meets two young boy gangs who are raging a battle in one of Liverpool's council estates and are using weapons that wouldn't look out of place in a military arsenal.
A very interesting read that leaves you wanting more answers that the book and Ross can hope to give.

3.0 out of 5 stars another case of celebrity reportage, 14 Jun 2009
By Alexa (Midlothian United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
The material covered here fascinating; Ross Kemp has certainly gone a long way to meet some very disurbed and disturbing people.

However, it is another case of the interiewer being an actor, chosen more for the supposed resemblance between a character he has portrayed and the people he meets, than for any particular skills as either writer or interviewer or expertise on the subject.

The result is that although Mr. Kemp is an engaging chap, he spends an awful lot of time telling us *his* adventures and reactions, rather than those of the people he meets, who are the ostensible subject of the book.

Still, it remains the case that the organisations he has spoken to are well worth reporting on, and Ross Kemp remains likeable throughout, and commendably lacking in pomposity, so, even with the flaws I've described the book is worth a look. And maybe I'm being a little harsh on Mr. Kemp too - if it wasn;t for his soap celebrity status, maybe some of his interviewees would not have been so willing to talk to him?

One further warning - this is a narrative of what he did, and what they said, without any further attempt to organise the material. I have not seen the original documentaries, but, given the style of the book, I suspect that there may not be much new material here. Those who have already seen the documentaries may be disappointed.
