Klappentext MAFIA BROTHERHOODS is the new history of Italian organized crime by the author of the international bestseller COSA NOSTRA. Although the Cosa Nostra has attracted the most attention abroad, it is far from being Italy's only criminal fraternity. There are two other mafias that are even more powerful and dangerous: the Camorra, from Naples, and the 'Ndrangheta, from Calabria. Each of these 'brotherhoods' has its own methods, its own dark rituals, its own style of ferocity and corruption. MAFIA BROTHERHOODS blends archival sleuthing, vivid story-telling and shrewd historical analysis to tell the complete story of Italy's 'criminal ecosystem'. Vorwort The author of the bestselling COSA NOSTRA explores the previously underexposed mafias of Southern Italy. Zusammenfassung The author of the bestselling COSA NOSTRA explores the previously underexposed mafias of Southern Italy.
