A riveting true-life tale of newspaper noir and Japanese organized crime from an American investigative journalist who "pulls the curtain back on ... [an] element of Japanese society that few Westerners ever see" (San Francisco Examiner). Jake Adelstein is the only American journalist ever to have been admitted to the insular Tokyo Metropolitan Police Press Club, where for twelve years he covered the dark side of Japan: extortion, murder, human trafficking, fiscal corruption, and of course, the yakuza. But when his final scoop exposed a scandal that reverberated all the way from the neon soaked streets of Tokyo to the polished Halls of the FBI and resulted in a death threat for him and his family, Adelstein decided to step down. Then, he fought back. In Tokyo Vice he delivers an unprecedented look at Japanese culture and searing memoir about his rise from cub reporter to seasoned journalist with a price on his head.

Heavy on humor, light on tragedy: the way a good autobiography should be. Adelstein makes plenty of observations that can be translated into advice for use outside his professional purview; another sign of a good autobiography. All told, “Tokyo Vice” is a solid mix of information and anecdote. It makes for quick reading that is sometimes educational.Recommended for: people looking for insight on international journalism; people interested in learning about Tokyo's underbelly (at least in a topical sort of way); people researching the sex industry or human trafficking and it's consequences (especially in one of the biggest, most developed cities in the world).Be warned: the discussions about, and descriptions of, what goes on in the sex industry are particular frank and at times unsettling. This seems by design, given Adelstein's later work on investigating human trafficking for the US State Department.Some examples of Adelstein's writing:“Heroes are just people who have run out of choices. You still had a choice. You made the right choice.”“On my way home from the film, I spotted a funny-looking tarot fortune-telling machine at the entrance of an arcade. In my uncertain state of mind, I figured it couldn't hurt to consult an expert.”“That led us into a twenty-minute discussion of the differences between Japanese and U.S. Porn. The reporters were shocked to learn that octopuses and other animals of the sea were rarely used to drape the genitals in American porn and that sex through panty hose wasn't a popular theme. I was asked to bring back some videotapes on my next visit to America.”“Objectivity is a subjective thing.”“The Japanese believe there's a right way to live, to love, to induce female orgasm, to chop off your pinkie, to take off your shoes, to swing a bat, to write an article about homicide, to die -even to kill yourself. There's a right way -a perfect way- to do everything.”
