Acerca de esta escucha
Organized crime is perhaps the most fascinating phenomenon of our time. From Al Capone, who boldly claimed his bootlegging activities were a public service, to the flamboyant Teflon Don, John Gotti, the criminals of the underworld garnered headlines and captured our imagination with their violent and extravagant lifestyles.
Mafia is an absorbing introduction to the mob's most influential personalities - their lives, loves, and terrible crimes. It also provides an in-depth history of the role of the mob in Sicily and America.
For anyone who wants to know the truth about organized crime and understand the violent forces that have shaped it over the last century, this book is an indispensable guide.

Greed. Lies. Corruption. These are the foundational elements of the American Mafia story. Here, the pursuit of power overshadows even the desire for a dollar, and self-interest outweighs the greater good. It’s a world that’s foreign to the average American—or is it? The values of our democracy and those of Mafia culture are separated by a thin line that’s quickly disintegrating.

Historia
Organized crime - the Italian American kind - has long been a source of popular entertainment and legend. Now Thomas Reppetto provides a balanced history of the Mafia's rise - from the 1880s to the post-World War II era - that is as exciting as it is authoritative. Structuring his narrative around a series of case histories featuring such infamous characters as Lucky Luciano and Al Capone, Reppetto draws on a lifetime of field experience and access to unseen documents to show us a locally grown Mafia.

Mafia Prince is the first-person account of one of the most violent eras in Mafia history - "Little" Nicky Scarfo’s reign as boss of the Philly family in the 1980s - written by Scarfo’s underboss and nephew, "Crazy" Phil Leonetti. The youngest-ever underboss at the age of 31, Leonetti was at the crux of the violent downfall of the traditional American Mafia in the 1980s when he infiltrated Atlantic City after gambling was legalized, and later turned state’s evidence against his own.

With its brilliant and brutal portrayal of the Corleone family, The Godfather burned its way into our national consciousness. This unforgettable saga of crime and corruption, passion and loyalty continues to stand the test of time, as the definitive novel of the Mafia underworld. A #1 New York Times bestseller in 1969, Mario Puzo's epic was turned into the incomparable film of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It is the original classic that has been often imitated, but never matched.

Gianni Russo was a handsome 25-year-old mobster with no acting experience when he walked onto the set of The Godfather and entered Hollywood history. He played Carlo Rizzi, and he didn't have to act - he knew the mob inside and out: from his childhood in Little Italy, where Mafia legend Frank Costello took him under his wing, to having to go on the lam after shooting and killing a member of the Colombian drug cartel in his Vegas club. Along the way, Russo befriended Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando. Russo had passionate affairs with Marilyn Monroe and Liza Minelli....

Historia
From his perspective in Renaissance Italy, Machiavelli's aim in this classic work was to resolve conflict with the ruling prince, Lorenzo de Medici. Machiavelli based his insights on the way people really are rather than an ideal of how they should be. This is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince, a king, or a president.

Historia
You can’t truly understand the last decade of the 20th century without a look at the muddy, electrifying rock music that would come to define it: grunge. For such a short-lived genre—at least in the mainstream—grunge had a lasting impact on American music and culture. It also provides a unique lens through which to examine the post-Reagan, pre-internet America of the 1990s. In the six lectures of The Story of Grunge, you’ll explore the rise and evolution of the genre, tracing it from Seattle subculture to MTV and the Billboard charts, all the way to its decline and evolution into new forms.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Historia
Best-selling author Bryan Burrough recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

Historia
For his victims, for their families and for the investigators tasked with finding him, the senselessness and brutality of the Golden State Killer's acts were matched only by the powerlessness they felt at failing to uncover his identity. Then, on April 24, 2018, authorities arrested 72-year-old Joseph James DeAngelo at his home in Citrus Heights, Calif., based on DNA evidence linked to the crimes. Amazingly, it seemed, evil finally had a name. Please note: This work contains descriptions of violent crime and sexual assault and may not be suitable for all listeners.

The Mafia from day one
The author traces the true history of the often featured and much-maligned Mafia. When and where did it start? What exactly does mafia mean and where does it come from? How did it move to the United States? These questions are addressed in great detail. Smith explores organized crime's growth and expansion through prohibition, cigarette and heroin distribution. The author highlights many key mafia figures such as Al Capone, Meyer Lansky, Dutch Schultz, and Bugsy Siegel. I thoroughly enjoyed the author's immersing storytelling.

Interesting, but patchy, not "complete"
At first sight, it is plain that this 4-hour book leaves something out of this vast history. So what is in it? It starts with some Sicilian history going back to the days before the unification of Italy. It has a nice compact history of that culture and some of the terminology familiar to Italian mafia aficionados. We see some history from the unification of Italy. It follows some major characters into the USA, giving a thumbnail sketch of various major figures into the mid 20th century, weaving into that world ("Mustache Petes," the Black Hand, Rothstein's innovations, Luciano, Capone, etc.). We then spend a lot of time in the Sicily of the 20th century, through the Mussolini years, and some trans-Atlantic ties and names. The Sicily invasion with US-mafia collaboration is told. Is there really a town, Corleone? Yes. Meet some real people from there. Then we see the buildup of the heroin trade controlled from Sicily largely selling into the USA, and the establishment of the French Connection and later the so-called "Pizza Connection." The scene shifts back and forth across the Atlantic with a large focus on heroin. The CIA is mentioned at various times in the book as allegedly interfacing with some pretty strange bedfellows. Here one may notice (and unfortunately, without a "look inside" feature in Amazon's book sales to check footnotes and the book's index, if any) a lack of documentation and sourcing in the audio, which I would very much like to have, to evaluate some of these factual claims better. There is mention of CIA-Air America shipping drugs out of Laos to support hill tribes. Then, there is a switch to an emphasis on political corruption back in Italy into the 1980s. There is a lot of discussion of those years when I recall constant headlines about kidnappings, murders and bombings there, and the peril to prosecutors. It closes with a brief look at the decline of the Gambino family, through Gotti Jr. So, this story does fit a somewhat coherent overall sequence in time but there are threads or fragments not really run down in a fully scholarly fashion. The story is very listenable and I listened almost straight through. It is some interesting background info, in you have any interest in the general history of organized crime.
