The last good non-fiction book I read was Lowlife: Life in British Prisons With Drug Dealers, Gun Runners and Murderes by Simon Eddisbury. It was written by some surburban middle class kid who ended up in prison for whatever reason and interviewed a load of different types of criminals. He talks to people who were caught selling illegal guns and all types of different weapons and a guy who smuggled drugs through about four different continents. Here's what it has to say on Amazon anyway http://www.amazon.com/LowLife-British-Dealers-Runners-Murderers/dp/1844549607/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1284309222&sr=8-1
Lowlife by Simon Eddisbury is a good book. It's the story of some middleclass kid from the burbs in england who goes to prison for a petty crime and spends his time in there investigating the "underworld" and all the crimes that go on in england. Some of the people he talks to are mindblowingly immoral and it's interesting how they justify their crimes to themselves. Also it's pretty shocking the amount of serious crimes that do go on in england- people selling hand grenades and machine guns with infrared sights! Here's the link anyway http://www.johnblakepublishing.co.uk/e-store/LowLife.html
