Due to the success of prosecutors, Sifakis has been steadily updating this work since the 1980s. While accurate when discussing well-known topics, like Al Capone and Lucky Luciano, the research and presentation is very sloppy when addressing less popular topics such as the Cuckoos and Yakuza.
Great bokk for information on the Mafia, dating back to the start of the 20th Century.
