(The Discovery of Cosa Nostra)

English sample available

Thanks to the examination of numerous archive sources, an extensive American bibliography and newspaper research, as well as the first-hand, unpublished testimony of lawyer Ronald Goldfarb, former prosecutor at the Organized Crime Section, the author reconstructs the story of Joe Valachi, considered history’s first supergrass, the son of grindingly poor Italian immigrants in New York, and the truth about the Robert Kennedy method, the first example of an anti-Mafia pool.
