"To what extent was Rosario "Russell" Bufalino involved in the
disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa in 1975? In the CIA's recruitment of
gangsters to assassinate Fidel Castro? In organizing the historic
meeting of crime chieftains in 1957? Even in the production of "The
Godfather "movie?"
Secretive--even reclusive--Russell Bufalino quietly built his
organized crime empire in the decades between Prohibition and the
Carter presidency. His reach extended far beyond the coal country
of Scranton, Pennsylvania, and quaint Amish farms near Lancaster.
Bufalino had a hand in global, national, and local politics of the
largest American cities, many of its major industries, and
controlled the powerful Teamsters Union. His influence also reached
the highest levels of Pennsylvania government and halls of
Congress, and his legacy left a culture of corruption that
continues to this day.
A uniquely American saga that spans six decades, "The Quiet Don
"follows Russell Bufalino's remarkably quiet ascent from Sicilian
immigrant to mob soldier to a man described by a United States
Senate subcommittee in 1964 as "one of the most ruthless and
powerful leaders of the Mafia in the United States."
