Review: Nemesis: One Man and the Battle for Rio

Nemesis: One Man and the Battle for Rio Nemesis: One Man and the Battle for Rio by Misha Glenny
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I came to this book interested in the favela-born criminal underworld of Rio. However, the scope is much more accurate to the subtitle (“One World”) than I had been looking for. This is an affecting tale of one man’s choice to leave the legitimate economy for the drug economy driven by the high cost of his daughter’s health care for a rare disorder.
