Hailed in Italy as the best book ever written about the mafia in
any language, "Cosa Nostra" is a fascinating, violent, and darkly
comic account that reads like fiction and takes us deep into the
inner sanctum of this secret society where few have dared to
tread.In this gripping history of the Sicilian mafia, John Dickie
uses startling new research to reveal the inner workings of this
secret society with a murderous record. He explains how the mafia
began, how it responds to threats and challenges, and introduces us
to the real-life characters that inspired the American imagination
for generations, making the mafia an international, larger than
life cultural phenomenon. Dickie's dazzling cast of characters
includes Antonio Giammona, the first "boss of bosses''; New York
cop Joe Petrosino, who underestimated the Sicilian mafia and paid
for it with his life; and Bernard "the Tractor" Provenzano, the
current boss of bosses who has been hiding in Sicily since
1963.
