True Crime

Organized crime is perhaps the most fascinating phenomenon of our time. From Al Capone, who boldly claimed his bootlegging activities were a public service, to the flamboyant Teflon Don, John Gotti, the criminals of the underworld have garnered headlines and captured our imagination with their violent and extravagant lifestyles.

Mafia is an absorbing introduction to the mob's most influential personalities - their lives, loves and terrible crimes. It also provides an in-depth history of the role of the Mob in Sicily and America.

For anyone who wants to know the truth about organized crime and understand the violent forces that have shaped it over the last century, this book is an indispensable guide.
