This is the story of the Cosa Nostra: from its origins in Sicily in
1863, through the great wave of Italian immigration to America, to
prohibition and the formation of the first mafia families, and to
the harsh realities of fascism and the postwar years in Italy where
the Cosa Nostra thrived. The image of the mafioso as a man of honor
good to the weak, above the laws of the state but subject to a
precise code was firmly rooted in the collective imagination until
the 1980s when light was shed on the structure of the vast
organization, its unsavory objectives, and the cold-blooded
strategies behind its actions. Culled from thousands of archival
images, more than 250 photographs and detailed captions tell the
story not only of the criminals who have entered popular legend but
also of the people who have been victims of the mafia: the judges,
police officers, and private citizens who fought back. "
