Place reservation for Waste wars : dirty deals, international rivalries and the scandalous afterlife of rubbishDumps and landfills around the world are overflowing. The millions of tonnes of garbage generated every day have given rise to waste wars, cons and cover ups across thousands of miles and multiple oceans. And few people have any idea they're happening. Roaming across five continents, Alexander Clapp reveals how most of our trash actually lives a secret second life, getting shipped, smuggled or dumped from one country onto another, with devastating consequences for the poorest nations of the world.
