Just brought the book today,havn't started yet do you recommend it.

Let me know what you think

The Mafia Is Not Primarily An Organisation Of Murderers.
First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves.
It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.

Between The Law And The Mafia, The Law Is Not The Most To Be Feared

I haven't read it, but it is incredibly popular down here in Australia. We're constantly selling out of it at my work, and it's hard to re-order in because there's such a high demand for it. It got a really good review in one of the major newspapers too. So it must be alright.

The book from John Dickie??? I read it, and I guarantee that this book is a must... especially when you want to know everything about the Sicilian Mafia. It gives a great insight from the start till now.

It's a great book, one of the best books on the cosa nostra with some shocking deatil of the murders carried out by the families. It's pretty long, but keeps you interested all the through.

Charlie M?! You made me put your head in the fucking vice and make your fucking eye pop out for fucking Charlie M?!
