The positive stories in this book look like they would be very uplifting, encouraging, and heartwarming.

I think that it would be helpful to list the parts to the book. They are . . .
Part I: Nicaragua
Part II: Bolivia
Part III: Equatorial Guinea
Part IV: South Sudan
Part V: Haiti

Tropical Gangsters II: Adventures in Development in the World's Poorest Places. By Robert Klitgaard. Rated 4 1/2 stars, but from only 8 reviews at Amazon; rated 3.50/5.00 at GoodReads.com, but from only 6 reviews; named one of the "Books of the Century" by the New York Times. Digital list price $2.99; Kindle price now $0.00. Amazon Digital Services, publisher. 243 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Tropical-Gangs...Poorest+Places.

Book Description
Tropical Gangsters was named one of the “Books of the Century” by the New York Times. This sequel again takes you beyond the slogans and ideologies of international development to the complexities, absurdities, and possibilities of some of the poorest places on the planet.

If Tropical Gangsters was like a non-fiction novel, Tropical Gangsters II is a set of non-fiction short stories. Stories about corrupt states and cynical cultures, but also about idealism and practical choices that matter. Stories that abound in surprising dialogue, remarkable characters, and beautiful descriptions of locales as diverse as Bolivia, Equatorial Guinea, Haiti, Nicaragua, and South Sudan.

Like its predecessor, Tropical Gangsters II will appear on college reading lists, in international training programs, and on the bookshelves of readers who love engaging words and exotic places.
