Information was OK, not great but OK. like other Reviews in here, it is my opinion that this book does not follow a story line, it just lays facts after facts, jumping chronologically a lot. you can be reading a paragraph and then BOOM, you get a sentence with random information, in my opinion just to bring it up. it is confusing. mos time mentioning people randomly, without stopping to think if the reader has read about them previously in the book. Definitely would NOT recommend this book. it is poorly written and sometimes misleading the readers about what is fact and what are assumptions.
If you can't get enough Mafia history, then this book is for you. Much detail and minutia about the Mafia history in Sicily. Well written. Not Mafia 101; more like Mafia 320. It is helpful to know the basic background before reading this book.
Very interesting to read. Violence was and still is in existence today, and I got a real good look through its book, the working,s of organized crime. Ruthless people, and today they are still going strong,in different ways. EXCELLENT BOOK
This book is the best I ever read,they don't glamorous them,only the facts.This is written,on 10September 1931maranzano invite luciano to his main office on the ninth floor of the helmsley building.Leona Helmsley was my husband boss,( he was sixteen years older than me) he told me,the mafia have meetings on her buildings,they feel save.they want to placed bugs,Leona refused,she told them,if I let you do that I will be dead,she ended in jail for taxes,she gave millions in charity.she was very wealthy but she was afraid for her life,rich and poor,mafia was very powerful.we all know that.Thelma.
Well done. Very complete, concise and would recommend to those who enjoying reading about mob history. Paints a picture from the beginning to current times.
Meandering and disorganized, this was not the comprehensive account of the makings of the Mafia I was expecting. The book seemed to jump back and forth in time, and almost appeared to be written by different people who didn't consult what the others had written. I would not recommend it.
It came to my house very fast and it is very good.
Not a linear story like I was expecting, seemed to jump around a lot. Focused a little too much on the actual Italian mob, not the American-Italian mob.
