If you are looking for a sensational,titillating account of Mafia activities, full of gore and sleazy details, then avoid this book completely.

from Palgrave Macmillan
Price: $11.92

Customer Review:
John Dickie's book on the history of the Sicilian Mafia is a landmark in investigative and historical journalism. The uncovering of the inner workings of an organization that, for obvious reasons, kept few or no written records is in itself a Herculean effort. There is nothing like it in the annals... more info

5.American Mafia: A History of Its Rise to PowerAmerican Mafia: A History of Its Rise to Power
from Holt Paperbacks
Price: $5.99

Customer Review:
I enjoyed this book for the most part. Part of the strength of the book is also its weakness. Thomas Reppetto is a former detective, and brings in a law enforcement perspective to the history that a jounalist or historian probably couldn't achieve. The result is more insiders view of the various... more info

from New Horizon Press
Price: $9.24

Customer Review:
Anyone who gives this book a positive review has not read much about the Mafia. Ccoon's review nails this book dead on. First off the author's attempt to tackle an impossible topic, the first one hundred years of the Mafia, to accomplish this, the book would have to be several volumes. They should... more info

The Mafia is one of those organizations that Hollywood and the media have turned into a household name. Its current public face is the fictional Tony Soprano.

from Springer
Price: $27.49

Customer Review:
I read this book in about three hours and enjoyed much of it. This is another book that raises the shade a little higher on the criminal behavior of the NOI in it's early form. I think this book is made up of a great deal of unremarkable characters, most of whom could be anyone in the inner-citys of... more info

Compellingly drawn from original sources, this history reads almost like an insider's confession.
