The Mafia: The First 100 Years Book

How did the Mob evolve from a gang of uncouth bumbling killers into the highly organized smoothly running international "corporation" it is today? This account traces the Mafia's beginnings from an underground patriotic society which sprang up 600 years ago in Sicily through the group of Italian immigrants - the Black Hand - who savagely tore control of New York's waterfronts away from Irish racketeers to the Mob which went on to run organized crime throughout Italy and America. Drawing on nearly two decades of research William Balsamo great-nephew of the first godfather and George Carpozi trace the Black Hand's coalescence into an organization whose insidious influence reached across the Atlantic and into a presidential administration. They also go behind the headlines to reveal the extent of the Mafia's influence today.Read More
