The mafia

the long version

TRUE CRIME. The story of the Mafia is a long and enthralling tale, drenched in blood and scored with betrayal. This book is about extraordinary men who lived through extraordinary times: Mafia tells the story of their lives, their families, their code, their crimes and their cold-blooded murders - from Don Vito Cascio Ferro, the New York mobster who lured Joe Petrosino to his death in Palermo to John Gotti, 'the Teflon don' and Bernardo 'The Tractor' Provenzano, who hid out in a farmhouse for 43 years... Includes an eight-page photographic section.
