Pressestimmen
“Incredible….an epic, painstakingly detailed story about the rise of a favela kid to king of an empire…. what Glenny does so well is explain the context for Rio’s drug world, and the battle to contain and (to use the word local officials concerned about Rio’s global image employ) “pacify” it. What emerges is not just a study of one man and how he came to control a cartel, but a portrait of a city bursting with new arrivals from poorer parts of Brazil, unfortunates who wind up clustered in shantytowns that lack adequate water, electricity and, crucially, economic opportunity…. Without glorifying Nem or trying too hard to justify his bitterly violent enterprise, Glenny humanizes a kind of person we tend to see drawn as a two-dimensional character. And he shows how the fortunes of Rio — to say nothing of its reputation on the world stage — are tied to its ability to do well by its poorest and most marginalized citizens.” —The Seattle Times “Reading “Nemesis” is like taking a walking tour of Baltimore’s underworld with Stringer Bell….Most true-crime accounts are heavy on car chases and shootouts, and light on analysis. Glenny turns that formula upside down. He is at his best in a quieter voice, sorting out why the police cannot simply swoop into a favela and arrest Mr. Big, and how street lookout and, especially, how a smart young Brazilian with a sick baby could transform himself into a crime lord.” —The New York Times Book Review“A balanced, but ultimately sympathetic, biography of the leader of a relatively small local drug cartel. Nem’s personal story anchors more profound reportage about Brazil’s parallel economic and political systems—specifically, Rocinha’s existence as a largely autonomous urban community and what happens when the government attempts to destroy, substantially reduce, or otherwise encroach on that autonomy.” —New York Journal of Books “His name is Antônio Francisco Bonfim Lopes. But you can call him Nemesis, everyone else does, and he was the don of Rocinha, the largest of Rio’s slums, known as favelas. He is also the protagonist of Misha Glenny’s fine book, the grim, elucidating Nemesis: One Man and the Battle for Rio…. For all the tale’s vileness, it is very skillfully told and a very strong piece of journalism.” —The Christian Science Monitor“Fearlessly reported with impressive detail….Mr. Glenny doesn’t preach or moralize. He shows that law enforcement in Rio is as problematic as the criminals, and in doing so, he paints what seems to be a true picture. This is a balanced book in the best sense.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette“Misha Glenny’s Nemesis: One Man and the Battle for Rio aims to give a sense of what life is like in those favelas, which, though they exist on the margins of every Brazilian metropolis, are especially visible and important in Rio, where they number more than one thousand and overlook Ipanema, Copacabana, and other elegant neighborhoods….To tell this exceedingly complicated story, Glenny focuses on Antônio Francisco Bonfim Lopes, nicknamed Nem, for many years the drug boss of Rocinha, a favela whose approximately 150,000 residents make it Rio’s biggest….Glenny is correct to conceive of the 1980s and onward as a true ‘battle for Rio,’ and he clearly sympathizes with the beleaguered favela residents, caught as they are between the drug gangs and police. He also gives us portraits, complete with humanizing details, of the police officers who tried to negotiate Nem’s surrender before he was arrested….Nemesis is a useful and readable introduction to the favela phenomenon.” —The New York Review“In 1999, with no criminal background, Antonio Francisco Bonfim Lopes was a typical resident of Rocinha, trying to figure out how to survive and support his family in one of Rio de Janeiro’s largest favelas. Less than six years later he was known as Nem, in charge of the large criminal organization unofficially ruling over Rocinha. The story of Nem acts as the glue for this title, in which journalist Glenny successfully explores the history of Rio de Janeiro, focusing on the violence, drug trade, politics, police forces, and related corruption within Rio’s favelas since the 1960s….Glenny employs a writing style that both keeps the story moving and the reader wanting more.” —Library Journal“[Glenny] is able to shed considerable light on the shadowy interconnections between the powers that be in the favela and the various police forces, most of which are thuggish and corrupt, as well as the politicians that reach out to favela voters at election time….Mind-bending and terrifying, rich in detail and nuance.” —StoptheDrugWar.org

Das Buch erzählt die wahre Geschichte von der Kindheit bis zum heutigen Tag in Haft von Nemesis, einem (ehemaligen) einflussreichen Don einer Favela in Rio de Janeiro. Ein großer Stellenwert wird auf die persönlichen Beweggründe des Mannes gelegt, was sehr erkenntnisreich ist. Darüber hinaus erfährt man viel über die politischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Umstände in Brasilien generell und insbesondere den Favelas von Rio. Wer sich für die Thematik der organisierten Kriminalität interessiert und z.B. Roberto Saviano gerne liest, der wird von Nemesis begeistert sein. Misha Glenny ist ein absoluter Fachmann. Das Buch ist sehr gut recherchiert, bietet umfangreiches Hintergrundwissen und bindet darin die packende Geschichte des Protagonisten mit ein.
A nice and thrilling read throughout, very well researched and documented. Many passages could have been made more succint and to the point, in my view, which would have made the overall story more compelling.The author (living in Rocinha to this day?) seems to have fallen into a kind of "Stockholm syndrom" trap and failed almost completely to express any legitimate criticism about his main protagonists. Judged objectively, and in the eyes of the overwhelming majority of the Brazilian public, these are essentially a bunch of failed existences, low-lifes, murderers and drug dealers bringing misery upon thousands and millions of the poorest in their quest for personal fame and money.Lastly, a bit more background (and criticism) on favela everyday life would have been appreciated; e.g., where does Rocinhan land ownership of some of the most breathtaking sites of the Marvellous City originate from? Who gave those North Easterners the right to (buy? occupy? steal?) that precious forest land? Is it a human right for any person from Paraiba to live in an oceanview home in Rio at the taxpayer's expense? Do these people pay for their electricity, gas, water, sewage, IPTU etc., as do their fellow Cariocas living on the Asphalt every month? Total silence in the book...
Journalist Misha Glenny’s exploration of criminal gangs and drug trafficking in Rio de Janeiro focuses on one favela (slum) and one drug lord. It’s a fascinating and surprising tale that pokes under the covers of the broad generalizations that dominate news coverage both of poverty in Brazil and of the drug trade.Drug trafficking, the arms trade, and Brazilian politicsGlenny’s subject is Antonio Francisco Bonfim Lopes, “Nem of Rosinha.†(Glenny translates Nem as “Babe.â€) Conducting interviews with Nem in prison, he reviews the rocky political history of the country during the military dictatorship (1964-85) and the tumultuous democratic period that followed. Though he keeps returning his attention to Nem throughout the book, Glenny describes the man’s trigger-happy predecessors and competitors and veers off into broader issues. Nem comes off as extremely intelligent and a brilliant manager, and he resorts to violence much less frequently than his rivals (or, apparently, the police, for that matter). Unlike other Rio drug lords, Nem dealt almost exclusively in cocaine, shunning the arms trade and extortion that were common in other slums. Like the others, he meddled in the corrupt politics of the region.“The most wanted man in Brazilâ€Nem ruled the favela of Rosinha in the south of Rio de Janeiro for four years (2007-11). Glenny describes the favela as the largest of Rio’s many slums. But Nem’s influence extended far beyond the borders of his community. When arrested by police in 2011, he was estimated to be responsible for more than 60% of the cocaine consumed in Rio and have a net worth of $60 million. The Brazilian government labeled him Public Enemy #1. A pitched gun-battle inadvertently triggered by some of his henchmen brought unwelcome attention and soon led to his capture.Ironically, Nem presided over nearly four years of peace and stability in Rosinha. He vigorously enforced rules against extortion and murder within the favela. The neighborhood descended into chaos following his arrest and imprisonment.About the bookNemesis is not an easy read. Glenny lurches from past to present and back again with annoying regularity, sometimes on a single page. It’s dizzying. And, despite his reputation as a top-flight journalist, he is careless with facts from time to time. For example, in one place Glenny refers to one of Nem’s rivals as running a region that consisted of “dozens of favelas,†implying that this constituted a large swath of the city. Later, he states that there are “more than 1,000†favelas in Rio. Later still, he asserts there are “some 900.â€About the authorMisha Glenny is a British journalist who specializes in southeastern Europe, cybersecurity, and global organized crime. Nemesis is the only one of his six books to deal with Brazil.
A true tour-de-force, even better than McMafia. An amazing primer on the rise of favela culture, humanized by the portrayal of one of its most notorious Don's. Unravels the socio-economic complexities in Rio while also revealing the dysfunction of Rio law enforcement. A true "page-turner" despite the over use of the phrase and couldn't recommend it more highly. Bravo!
From someone that has live in Rio for most of his life, this is a great book that provides a good glimpse into the Brazilian Slums. Noteworthy aftermath: Sergio Cabral - Governor of the state is now in prison for corruption. The UPPs are now gone and Rio de Janeiro has fallen into a war state again after pacification broght about by Jose Maria Beltrame.
A great book that tells the awesome tale of a drug Lord and his magnificent rise and crash. No matter what in think he was in control the whole way. He ,in my opinion, carefully.planned every step. Read it and tell.me what you think.Real good read
Good read. Interesting and intriguing. I didn't know much about Brazil before reading this book. I still don't know much about Brazil but I know a bit about Nem and Rocinha and somewhat enlightened rule by drug lords, and that's something.
