About

This enthralling hardback guide tells the story of the rise and spread of The Mafia, from the island of Sicily to the United States and beyond, brought to life with striking full-color photographs and illustrations.

The Mafia is full of blood-chilling characters, from Al Capone, who ran Chicago during Prohibition, and hitmen Louis Lepke and Alberto Anastasia who founded Murder, Inc, to Totò Riina, 'boss of bosses', John Gotti, 'the Teflon don', and Bernardo 'The Tractor' Provenzano, who hid out under cover for 43 years...

They were extraordinary men who lived through extraordinary times. The Mafia tells the story of their lives, their families, their codes, their crimes and their cold-blooded murders. It's a long and enthralling tale, drenched in blood and scored with betrayal.

Filled with full-color photographs, illustrations, and special features, this book provides an essential starting point to understanding the world of organized crime.
