Cosa Nostra: A History of the Sicilian Mafia 4 reviews
John Dickie
Palgrave Macmillan, 2005
An excellent and easily read history
The praise given by critics and reviewers when this book was first published in 2004 are easily understood and justified when reading it in paperback format.

Peter Robb
Picador, 2007
Madonna mia ... bravo!
Great read ... informative and scary, the trips Robb takes the reader in and throughout the mezzogiorno made me hungry and thirsty and yearning for a six month vacation there ... the scary has to do with the Italian mob and how ruthless it was (is) ... Robb's wonderfully detailed overview of the history of the mob/Italian culture/government, etc. and how that cancer grew to a disproportionate ...

Cosa Nostra: A History of the Sicilian Mafia7 reviews
John Dickie
Palgrave Macmillan, 2004
Excellent history of a little known world
Compellingly drawn from original sources, this history reads almost like an insider's confession. Dickie tears away the cobwebs in Western mythology regarding the Sicilian mafia's history to present a credible, well-researched and well-presented picture of this secret but formidable player in Italian and subsequently American economics.
Films like "The Godfather" and others are the primary ...
