BLOOD BROTHERHOODS is the enthralling new history of Italian organised crime by the author of the international bestseller COSA NOSTRA. Mafia. Camorra. 'Ndrangheta.
The Sicilian mafia, or Cosa Nostra, is far from being Italy's only dangerous criminal fraternity. The south of the country hosts two other major mafias: the camorra, from Naples and its hinterland; and the 'ndrangheta, the mafia from the poor and isolated region of Calabria that has now risen to become the most powerful mob of all.
Each of these brotherhoods has its own methods, its own dark rituals, its own style of ferocity and corruption. Their early history is little known; indeed some of it has been entirely shrouded in myth and silence until now.
BLOOD BROTHERHOODS is a book of breathtaking ambition, charting the birth and rise of all three of Italy's mafias. It blends ground-breaking archival research, passionate narrative, and shrewd historical analysis to bring Italy's unique 'criminal ecosystem', and the three terrifying criminal brotherhoods that evolved within it, to life on the page.
Published in paperback in February 2012 as MAFIA BROTHERHOODS.

A very detailed and informative account of the Italian Mafias. The author has done a great deal of research and gotten every possible important detail that he could find. The only down side is that you do not get a definite account of the origins of the mafias because either evidence has been destroyed, lost over time or more commonly the organisations were just to secretive and not much was ever revealed. You get some great fairy tales and myths though, so it is interesting just to hear about them. If you are interested in the history of the Italian mafias, then you will not find a better book than this. Ref II 3. N° de réf. du vendeur 029524
