description: The Mafia has been given many names since it was founded in the mid-19th century - the Sect, the Brotherhood, the Honoured Society, and now Cosa Nostra. Yet as times have changed, the Mafia's subtle and bloody methods have remained the same. This book reconstructs the complete history of the Sicilian Mafia from its origins to the modern day, from the lemon groves and sulphur mines of Sicily, to the streets of Manhattan.
