The History of the Mafia

From the Mafia's origins on the island of Sicily to the mobsters who ran Prohibition and then deadly drugs in the years that followed, this book is full of blood-chilling characters who would stick a knife in anyone's back for money and power--sometimes just because they wanted to! Within these pages, you will read about the code of honor that kept grown men awake all night as they awaited inevitable retribution for breaking the rules of their creed. The history of the Mafia has been written in blood, and there are few signs of its illegal activities coming to a close: when one avenue of criminal enterprise is closed off, another opens up. This is the story so far.
