In the introduction of the book Mr. Johnson assures his readers that his consistent study of world history combined with the fact that he grew up in one of the worst crime field neighborhoods of Pittsburgh allowed him to analyze the thugism epidemic properly. The book mentions everything from the roots of poverty, to the pre-gang and gang bang era, to the lack of proper parental guidance and much more. It is a recommendation to anyone who truly wishes to get a different perspective on what Mr. Johnson believes is an epidemic called thugism.
