The True Story of a Welsh Godfather (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

He was too charismatic and ruthless a businessman for them to ever have a chance of controlling him. They were both gaining financially from working with him. In that sense, they were part of this extended mafia family. A mafia family is not solely comprised of blood relatives.

I first met J.O.Williams, the Welsh Godfather, when playing with his grandson, Johnny Illslay, in the extensive grounds of the family home.

Neither Johnny nor I had any idea that his grand-dad was the ruthless mafia don that had succesfuuly outmanouevered the British and Canadian governments.

The True Story of a Welsh Godfather is intriguing from start to finish. There are interesting surprises at every turn of the page,

Comments are welcomed from readers. I want to encourage a lively conversation among readers. We have found that readers' responses often add to everyone's understanding and knowledge of the topic.

Autorenporträt

My focus group took time to develop but is now paying dividends. I can bounce ideas off Thais from varying social classes. From poor farmers and construction workers to those working in offices and shops. From bankers to well-off business owners.

The group includes members of the so-called hi-so elite as well as military and police officers. Interaction sometimes needs to be one-to-one as Thais are cautious expressing their views in front of their other countrymen.

To understand Thailand and to integrate better with the Thai people and their culture, it's important to observe and listen rather than doing all the talking oneself. After all, God gave us two eyes and two ears but only ONE mouth.

Through field research and discussions with Thais, either in normal conversation or in the lecture theatre, Matt presents a rich picture of the real Thailand, warts and all.

He has written extensively on Thais and Thailand with 20 published books already available in ebook and print format.

Despite not being similar in style, his books reflect on some of the observations in "Mai Pen Rai Means Never Mind." ln his opinion, the best introductory book on Thais and Thailand. Written by Carol Hollinger in 1965, its insights are still very revealing and up to date.

Sadly, Hollinger passed away at 45 years old before she could see her best- selling book in print. Matt also then lost an opportunity to collaborate with her on a new book on the concept of Face in Thailand.
