DESCRIPTION

A History of the American Mafia
The explosive second volume of former mobster's Lou Ferrante's BORGATA trilogy in which we learn of the existential threats that nearly destroyed the American Mafia

'A fascinating inside look at the history of the mafia . True crime fans will be captivated' Publishers Weekly
'A detailed work that covers major events in American mafia history . highly entertaining' Wall Street Journal


From a former member of the Gambino crime family, discover volume two of the definitive history of the American mafia. This is the mob as you've never seen it before .

The first hundred years of the American Mafia's existence would come to be seen as a golden age. From small-town Sicily to glittering Las Vegas, the mob had carefully expanded and consolidated their power until their influence touched almost every aspect of American society. But in the 1960s, everything changed.

In the second volume of former Mafia associate Louis Ferrante's groundbreaking Borgata trilogy, we discover for the first time the true scale of the conflicts that rocked the organisation between 1960 and 1985. From Robert F. Kennedy's personal crusade against the unexpecting mob to covert assassinations, betrayal by government informants and full-blown insurrections, we follow the Mafia from the apex of their power to their descent into civil war. This story takes place against the backdrop of a changing America, where shadowy CIA conspiracies, brutal Justice Department battles and J Edgar Hoover's FBI all leave their mark on the Mafia tale.

Ferrante's insider history sheds new light on men so powerful they have since become household names: Jimmy Hoffa, Crazy Joe Gallo, Carlo Gambino and more. And, as ruthless infighting leads to rebellion, we watch as a bitter power struggle between Paul Castellano and the young John Gotti begins.
