The Mafia's Greatest Hits

The Mafias Greatest Hits draws on exceptional access to the FBI's previously secret files on the Mafia and uncovers the extraordinary truth behind some of the Mafia s most notorious killers.

They realised that many of the crimes which they were trying to solve before that date (and thought of as racketeering ) were all interlinked and controlled by a small group of Mafia bosses in New York. They realised, too, that killing is an essential element of Mafia culture as it is the way in which the Mafia establishes territory and also establishes hierarchy.
