This is the only book I have read about the history of the Mafia and I based on other reviews and those who read several. I adored, I learned everything and understand everything, even if we lose strength in the names of chiefs and deputy chiefs but no matter. It is especially fascinating how the Mafia began, how it developed, open your eyes on such a corrupt government and all persons supposed to be responsible in this country. This book is just what is not said, what is not said! The actual extent of this phenomenon than fiction and we end the book with what the mafia at the moment and how it is likely to grow. It's scary and I think it is to read, at least if one is interested and we like to keep abreast of the news, for it is in the News of the shadows but rather the news anyway.
