Summary

Louis Ferrante: Borgata

Louis Ferrante, former gangster and member of the Gambino family, uncovers the dark history of the mafia from Sicily to Las Vegas. In this masterful work, he takes the reader from the humble beginnings of the mafia to the height of its power as the most influential criminal network in the United States of America. The book begins with a clear and concise account of how and why this infamous secret society was formed within Sicilian culture and follows some of its leaders across the Atlantic to New York and New Orleans, from where they spread their tentacles into all levels of American society.

You will then witness the rise of legendary gangsters during the Prohibition era and discover dark secrets in the struggle for power in the criminal world involving, among many others, Lucky Luciano, Joe Masseria, Salvatore Maranzano, Vito Genovese, Frank Costello and Meyer Lenski.

This is the story of people who shaped history and history shaped them. This book is not just an overview of the social, economic and political forces that fueled the unstoppable rise of the mob - it is the true story of someone who saw it all from the inside.
