Godfathers : lives and crimes of the Mafia mobsters

Much blood has been spilt on account of the Sicilian and American Mafias – and almost as much ink has been expended on recounting the details of their culture and crimes.

However, comparatively little is known about the brutal, elusive figures who masterminded the development of one of the most powerful organizations in the world.

Enriched by carefully researched material, first-hand documents and previously unpublished photographs, Roberto Olla’s page-turning account of the mysterious lives and harrowing crimes of the Mafia Dons takes us into the heart of the Cosa Nostra’s innermost circle.
