Spawned in the ghettos of Kingston as mercenary street-fighters for the island's politicians, the posses began migrating to the United States in the early 1980's, just in time to catch and ride the crack wave as it engulfed the country. Laurie Gunst's provocative exposé of the Jamaican politicians' role in creating this problem is also a moving and compelling tale of suffering and exploitation. Leone Ross' substantial afterword examines further the issues raised by the book from a British and Jamaican perspective. --Back cover.

This book was released on 2007-07. Shower Posse available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Referred to by the FBI as "the most violent and notorious criminal organisation ever in America", the Shower Posse was the epitome of drug dealing ruthlessness. Urban landscapes were brutal battlegrounds for quick money, and the Shower Posse's reign was supreme. This tell-all saga is in the words of its mastermind, Vivian Blake. Blake skyrocketed to wealth with savvy business skills, but his savage henchmen terrorised the streets into submission. Blake's men had been raised in Jamaica where murders went unsolved daily. Shower ran wild spraying bullets on anyone and everyone in their way. Their weapons, fingerprints, and m.o.'s were not traceable. Most American police had never seen any of them before. That careless attitude toward pulling triggers earned a record 1400+ murders and quickly established Shower's rep. The book is packed with tales of power struggles, high-flying gangster success, betrayal and perseverance. It contains exclusive, candid in-depth details of the inner workings of Shower. The book will easily explain scores of high-profile unsolved murders across the world. The "Shower Posse" is derived from the "shower" of lead it shoots at rivals. The book's sixteen page pictorial includes over fifty never before published pictures of posse members and murder scenes.
