'The Criminal History of Ranil Wickremesinghe 1977-1997' is intended to link the past to the present. Even if it takes the form of a horror story and sends chills down the spine, this book should be read by every voter, researcher and lawyer in Sri Lanka. This investigative report confirms how the politicians who come into power through popular vote of the people as caretakers of government, the police officers who are paid by public funds to maintain law and order and the underworld criminals who act as blood sucking ticks of the people, come together under one roof to decide the fate of others. It is up to the people of Sri Lanka to decide if they want this to continue.
