Mafia Wars – $7.99 Mafia Wars – Mafia Wars $26.5 Mafia Wars Racket $12.95 Racket Mafia Democracy (Hardcover) $39.08 Former mobster Michael Franzese looks at the American political scene and says, "Hey, I know these guys." Mafia Democracy is a powerful expose, revealing in shocking detail how American government increasingly operates with the mindset, strategy, and tactics of the American Mob.There are only two ways to get what you want. You can make it, or you can take it. The first is lawful, and government is empowered to protect the makers from the takers. But what if the government turns taker too? You`re already watching it happen. Our elected and appointed officials in Washington, D.C., and state houses across the land are adopting a style of governing that eerily resembles that of the American Mafia, also known as La Cosa Nostra, "This Thing of Ours." In Mafia Democracy, Michael Franzese reveals in vivid detail how our leaders are turning a government "by the people and for the people" into a government that our leaders run as if it were the Mob-a thing of theirs and not the people`s, a syndicate, a racket.Mafia Democracy exposes the similarities between the state and the crooks: the mindset, the arrogance, even the tactics (intimidation, deception, and worse). Mafia Democracy is a book for people who want their government back, who want a government of the people, not "This Thing of Ours."

History Of The Mafia
$13.79
When we think of the Italian Mafia we think of Marlon Brando Tony Soprano and the Corleones—iconic actors and characters who give shady dealings a mythical pop presence. Yet these sensational depictions take us only so far. The true story of the Mafia reveals both an organization and mindset dedicated to the preservation of tradition. It is no accident that the rise of the Mafia coincided with the unification of Italy and the influx of immigrants into America. The Mafia means more than a horse head under the sheets—it functions as an alternative to the state providing its own social and political justice. Combining a nuanced history with a unique counternarrative concerning stereotypes of the immigrant Salvatore Lupo a leading historian of modern Italy and a major authority on its criminal history has written the definitive account of the Sicilian Mafia from 1860 to the present. Consulting rare archival sources he traces the web of associations both illicit and legitimate that have defined Cosa Nostra during its various incarnations. He focuses on several crucial periods of transition: the Italian unification of 1860 to 1861 the murder of noted politician Notarbartolo fascist repression of the Mafia the Allied invasion of 1943 social conflicts after each world war and the major murders and trials of the 1980s. Lupo identifies the internal cultural codes that define the Mafia and places these codes within the context of social groups and communities. He also challenges the belief that the Mafia has grown more ruthless in recent decades. Rather than representing a shift from "honorable" crime to immoral drug trafficking and violence Lupo argues the terroristic activities of the modern Mafia signify a new desire for visibility and a distinct break from the state. Where these pursuits will take the family adds a fascinating coda to Lupo's work.
