Tracing its beginnings as an underground society which sprang up in Sicily, to the Mob which went on to run organised crime throughout Italy and America, The Mafia: The First 100 Years tells the gripping story of the most mythical and misunderstood criminal organisation. How did the Mob evolve from a gang of bumbling killers into the smooth-running international 'corporation' of today? Drawing on nearly two decades of research, William Balsamo - great-nephew of the original godfather - and George Carpozi Jr. reveal the Mafia's coalescence into an organisation whose insidious influence reached across the Atlantic and into a presidential administration. Delving behind the headlines to uncover the true extent of the Mafia's influence, The Mafia: The First 100 Years reads like the most compelling crime fiction, yet is the terrifying, deadly truth.
Drawing on scores of interviews, previously unrevealed intelligence documents from many countries, the U.S. State Department Report, as well as archives of England, Argentina, France, and Italy, Carpozi makes public startling information about the dealings all these nations had with Nazi Germany and follows the trail of the valuables stolen from victims of the Holocaust.
A biography of the flamboyant mobster discusses his penchant for rape and murder, his transformation of a sandy desert into a multimillion-dollar business called Las Vegas, his relationship with Hollywood, and more. Original.
