Definitely looks like an interesting book, but not very map heavy. It
contains 6 case studies. The 31 maps are an insert between chapters 4
and 5. I was unable to access the maps in the ebook versions I tried.
It may be because I was using the preview before buy feature or that the
maps are not part of the ebook.
If you purchase books in human geography or economics, you might
consider it. I would not consider it for a map collection.
That's my 5 minute review :)

I'm not sure about how much it is an atlas (31 maps in 214 pages) but it
sure sounds fascinating:

Mainland Southeast Asia is one of the world s key regions for the
trafficking of illegal goods. It is home to an international trade in
small arms, nuclear smuggling rings, human trafficking, contraband and
counterfeit goods, illicit currency and smuggled medicinal drugs. The
scope and mechanisms of such trafficking, however, are far from
understood. An Atlas of Trafficking in Southeast Asia brings together
key researchers and *cartographic specialists *to provide a unique
overview of the major forms of illegal trafficking in the region.
*Featuring 32 specially drawn full-colour maps detailing the trafficking
hubs, counter-trafficking facilities and border status for each of the
trafficking activities, together with political, historical,
topographic, ecological and linguistic regional maps*, the atlas
provides an unparalleled reference resource that will be welcomed by
professionals and academics across a wide range of disciplines
