A cellar door creaked open in the middle of the night, or a hand slipping quickly into a trenchcoat - the most compelling transactions are surely those we never see. Smuggling can conjure images of adventure and rebellion in popular culture but as Simon Harvey shows in this book, smuggling has had a profound effect on the geopolitics of the world. Shining a light onto seven centuries of dark history, he illuminates a world of intrigue and fortunes, hinged on outlaw desires and those who have been willing to fulfill them.
