A Great Book!

If you're into reading books about the mafia, then this book is a must. Calderone is the brother of a the former mafia boss in Catania, Pippo Calderone. He therefore knows about the inner workings of the mafia. In the book Calderone not only reveals the background and details of the various mafia wars in Sicily, but he also tells us how mafiosi see themselves and how their mind works. He also provides interesting details about well known mafiosi such as Luciano Liggio, boss of the Corleone mafia, and his successor, Toto Riina. It's one of those books you find hard to put away before you've finished it.
