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.

An Economic History of Organized Crime: A National and Transnational Approach $130 This book is a comparative study of organized crime groups from five different parts of the world: Europe; North America; Central America/South America/Caribbean basin; Africa; and Asia/Western Pacific. Each part contains two case studies and a shorter essay, a vignette. From Europe the case studies focus on the Italian mafias and the Russian mafia; the vignette, on the Albanian mafia. From North America the case studies highlight the US Mafia and the Mexican drug cartels; the vignette, organized crime in Canada. From Central America/South America/Caribbean basin the case studies concentrate on the Colombian drug cartels and gangs of the Caribbean; the vignette, on organized crime in Cuba. From Africa the case studies examine resource wars and Somali piracy; the vignette, relations among international drugs trafficking, organized crime, and terrorism in North and West Africa. And from Asia/Western Pacific the case studies spotlight the Chinese Triads and Japanese Yakuza; the vignette, relations among international drugs trafficking, organized crime, and terrorism in Afghanistan.Written in non-specialist language, An Economic History of Organized Crime provides an original overview of a crucial problem of our times: the growing scourge of global organized crime. This book can be read with profit by the general public, but it also has value for academic specialists and professionals in law enforcement.

Coming Balkan Caliphate: The Threat of Radical Islam to Europe and the West $40 The Balkans—the gateway between East and West—are also Europe’s soft underbelly, a rough neighborhood where organized crime and terrorism present a constant threat. This eye-opening book details how 15 years of misguided Western interventions, political scheming, and local mafia appeasement, compounded by a massive infusion of Arab cash, fundamentalist Islamic preaching and mosque-building have allowed radical Islamic groups to fill in the cracks between internal ethnic and religious schisms and take root in key areas of the Balkans.With all eyes currently focused on the widening conflict in the Middle East and the terrorist threat coming from the region, the West is in danger of overlooking a potent new battleground in the greater war on terror—the Balkans. This historically volatile region saw some of the worst violence of the late 20th century in the Yugoslav Wars of Secession. During these conflicts, stunningly shortsighted and politically motivated policies of the United States and its allies directly allowed Islamic mujahedin and terrorist-related entities to establish a foothold in the region—just as with the progenitors of the Taliban a decade earlier in Afghanistan.Although the 9/11 attacks caused a partial reassessment of Western policy, it may already be too late for a region still largely ignored. The proliferation of foreign fundamentalist groups has had a cancerous effect on traditional Balkan Islamic communities, challenging their legitimacy in unprecedented and often violent ways. Well-funded groups like the Saudi-backed Wahabbis continue to exploit internal schisms within local communities, while the international administrations in Bosnia and Kosovo have actually strengthened the grip of local mafia groups—business partners of terrorists. Worst of all, the Western peacekeepers’ chronic don’t rock the boat mentality has allowed extremist groups to operate unchallenged. Nevertheless, regional demographic and

Chapters: Russian Mafia, Chechen Mafia, Solntsevskaya Bratva, Tambov Gang, Izmaylovskaya Gang, Orekhovskaya Gang, Potato Bag Gang, Nevsky. Excerpt: The Chechen mafia is one of the largest and most important organized crime (OC) groups operating in the former Soviet Union next to established Russian mafia gangs, which originally consisted of criminals of Chechen ethnicity who later also tried to recruit former Russian special military forces, police and army officers. It has substantially decreased its presence in Moscow by 1994 after Slavic mafia groups united in fight against Chechen mafia, with assistance of Russian police and KGB (which was renamed to FSB by that time). As it happened most of Chechen gang members returned to Chechnya and joined rising Chechen separatist movement. During Chechen wars in Russia there has been a substantial number of people of Chechen ethnicity immigrating to Europe and gaining status of political refugees. A part of them were former criminals or separatists, and after arriving in Europe they started criminal activities in almost every EU country and gained considerable strength (except Italy, where Neapolitan and Sicilian mafia managed to successfully protect their territory). Chechen mafia is often referenced as “Russian mafia” in Europe, because most people of Chechen ethnicity speak Russian language and immigrated from Russia.Origins and history According to the documentary The making of a new empire directed by Jos de Putter , the group originated in 1974 after a Chechen student at Moscow State University named Khozh-Ahmed Noukhaev founded an underground opposition movement, which later became known as the widely feared Obshina. To many Chechens however, it was regarded as the cradle of the liberation movement, with Noukhaev embodying a
