Förlagets beskrivning
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. A history of the Mafia, from its beginnings as an underground patriotic
society which sprang up 600 years ago in Sicily, through to the Mob which runs
organized crime throughout America and Italy. It draws on nearly two decades of
research, and Balsamo is great-nephew of the first godfather.
