Organized Crime Editorial Review
This book provides a detailed history of the five Mafia families in New York City, from their origins to modern times, with a focus on their leadership. The author has done great research, and the use of language is impressive. It is long, but readers maintained interest throughout the 700+ pages. This book is recommended to anyone who has an interest in Mafia history. Some readers found some repetitive information, but this was not a deterrent. The book offers information on the complete history of La Cosa Nostra in a detailed and in-depth style, and it is worth the read despite being a bit of a challenge.
