The First Family

Más información sobre el libro

Before Al Capone and Lucky Luciano, there was the one-fingered, cunning Giuseppe Morello and his murderous coterie of brothers. Had it not been for Morello, the world may never have heard of 'men of honour', the code of <i>omerta</i> or Mafia wars. This explosive book tells the story of the first family of New York, and how this extended close-knit clan of racketeers and murderers left the backwaters of Sicily to successfully establish themselves as the founding godfathers of the New World. Combining strong narrative and raw violence, <i>The First Family</i> is a compelling portrait of the early years of organised crime. This is how it really happened.
