Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Donata Genovese died in 1931 after suffering from a virulent form of tuberculosis. She had one child with her husband, and neighbors said she had been doing philanthropic work for the families of the unemployed Italians in the city.

#2 Donata Genovese was a philanthropist who died from tuberculosis in 1931. Her death certificate stated that she died from acute miliary tuberculosis, which can be contracted from poor conditions and unsanitary nutrition.

#3 Vito Genovese arrived in New York Harbor on May 23, 1913. The Italian migration had already spawned a disparate criminal culture that included the Black Hand, a loose amalgam of extortionists who preyed on the fears and gullible nature of their mainly Southern Italian compatriots.

#4 Vito Genovese’s involvement in bootlegging brought him to the attention of the cops, who started the file on him at police headquarters. He was charged in a homicide case in November 1925, but cops dropped the charges. He was shot from behind in the neck in July 1926, but survived.
