Riassunto

From bootlegger Al Capone to "Teflon Don" John Gotti, mobsters have long frightened and fascinated the public. Their sometimes flamboyant but almost always violent lifestyles have inspired popular movies such as The Godfather and hit television shows like The Sopranos, but these romanticized depictions fall far short of the brutal reality of the criminal underworld.
The Mafia Encyclopedia, Third Edition offers an unflinching survey of the mob's most influential personalities; their power struggles, crimes, and rackets; and their unique culture and jargon. Completely updated to cover the five main Mafia families, the history of the Mafia, current cases, international and associated crime groups, and Mafia customs and practices, this essential reference contains more than 500 entries, more than 100 photographs, and an all-new time line of Mafia history.
