"A treasure trove for true crime buffs and mob aficionados-the mug shots alone are worth the price of admission." -Nicholas Pileggi, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Wiseguy Foreword by Sam Giancana Some time in the early 1960s, during the golden age of organized crime in America-the era that would inspire The Godfather, Goodfellas, and even The Sopranos-federal investigators pulled every known piece of information on more than 800 Mafia members worldwide into a thick, phone-book-sized directory. From old-school gangsters like Lucky Luciano and Mickey Cohen to young turks like Paul Castellano and Vinny "The Chin" Gigante, the guide offered at-a-glance profiles of small-time thugs and major dons alike . . . and was allegedly the book Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy used to investigate the mob.Recently discovered, and published for the first time in this facsimile edition, Mafia is a treasure trove of info on the underworld in mid-century America-a revelatory artifact and an irresistible read."Fascinating . . . A panoramic view of the American underworld-the national face seen in a fun house mirror." -The New York Times Book Review"For mobheads and true crime fanatics, [Mafia] is the equivalent of a hijacked truck of unmarked bills. It’s also a quirky little slice of the American dream." -Salon.com "Make room on your true-crime bookshelf for this veritable high school yearbook of America’s criminal class." -T. J. English, New York Times-bestselling author of Born to Kill"Mafia is the Bible for Mafia-watchers and amateur detectives everywhere." -Legs Mc Neil, coauthor of Please Kill Me
