Mafia by Nigel Cawthorne
While the story of the Mafia may not be over, it is a long and enthralling tale, drenched in blood and scored with betrayal. The History of the Mafia is full of blood-chilling characters from Don Vito Cascio Ferro, the New York mobster who lured Joe Petrosino to his death in Palermo, to John Gotti, the Teflon don and Bernardo The Tractor Provenzano, who hid out in a farmhouse for forty-three years and was recently arrested by police. These were extraordinary men who lived through extraordinary times, times that are rapidly disappearing. The History of the Mafia tells the story of their lives, their families, their code, their crimes, and their cold-blooded murders.Nigel Cawthorne studied at University College, London, where he gained an Honours degree in Physics, before turning to writing as a career. He has been a writer and editor for over 25 years, the last 21 freelance. He has written, contributed to and edited more than sixty books, including Fighting Them On The Beaches: D-Day, 6 June 1944, The Battle of Britain, Vietnam: A War Lost and Won, Stalin, and The Story of the SS. His work has also appeared in over a hundred and fifty newspapers, magazines and partworks on both sides of the Atlantic - from the Sun to the Financial Times, and includes contributions to Nam, Eyewitness Nam and The Falklands War. Nigel also visited Vietnam with the legendary Tim Page, where he researched the material for Nam, Eyewitness Nam, and The Bamboo Cage. He is also the creator of websites on the Battle of Hastings, and Pearl Harbor.
