If you are a fan of this subject matter then this is a must. From the lemon grove wars to today, this is almost an almanac that lets you piece together all the familiar names and families portrayed in the movies.
I totally agree with Consigliere about it's complexity so you'll need to stay alert and pay attention but the rewards are there.
This is one seriously indepth book exploring the origins of the La Cosa Nostra from the Sicilian way of life...and death.
Don't expect tales of modern day shake downs and extortion rackets. This book goes all the way back to the beginning when something as innocous as a simple vineyard was the stage for bloodshed. The writer is clearly an authority on the subject and throughout, the constant barrage of names, dates and facts will enlighten and educate. It can at times be very hard going and the sheer number of threads persisting through the book may confuse. I had to read it twice, but for this very reason remains the book's greatest strength. Never before has the mechanical manipulations of the 'Friends Of The Friends's been so exhaustively catalogued.
If you want to know the truth, be prepared to take the journey. It's a hard read but a rewarding one.
