Description
The Sicilian Mafia: A History of Cosa Nostra Cosa Nostra is a comprehensive and gripping history of the world's most famous and secretive criminal fraternity. Founded over 140 years ago, the mafia has been known by various names, but its methods have remained remarkably consistent. This book reconstructs the complete history of the Sicilian mafia, from its origins in the island's lemon groves and sulphur mines to its presence on the streets of Manhattan. With a narrative pace reminiscent of detective fiction, Cosa Nostra offers a rich and atmospheric account of this complex and often bloody subject. Hailed as the best book ever written about the mafia in Italy, Cosa Nostra is a monumental study that sheds new light on one of the world's most enduring and fascinating criminal organisations.
