'A fascinating inside look at the history of the mafia . . . True crime fans will be captivated' Publishers Weekly'A detailed work that covers major events in American mafia history . . . highly entertaining' Wall Street Journal From a former member of the Gambino crime family, discover volume two of the definitive history of the American mafia. This is the mob as you've never seen it before . . . The first hundred years of the American Mafia's existence would come to be seen as a golden age. From small-town Sicily to glittering Las Vegas, the mob had carefully expanded and consolidated their power until their influence touched almost every aspect of American society. But in the 1960s, everything changed.In the second volume of former Mafia associate Louis Ferrante's groundbreaking Borgata trilogy, we discover for the first time the true scale of the conflicts that rocked the organisation between 1960 and 1985. From Robert F. Kennedy's personal crusade against the unexpecting mob to covert assassinations, betrayal by government informants and full-blown insurrections, we follow the Mafia from the apex of their power to their descent into civil war. This story takes place against the backdrop of a changing America, where shadowy CIA conspiracies, brutal Justice Department battles and J Edgar Hoover's FBI all leave their mark on the Mafia tale.Ferrante's insider history sheds new light on men so powerful they have since become household names: Jimmy Hoffa, Crazy Joe Gallo, Carlo Gambino and more. And, as ruthless infighting leads to rebellion, we watch as a bitter power struggle between Paul Castellano and the young John Gotti begins. - Häftad, Engelska, 2024

The American mafia has long held powerful sway over our collective cultural imagination. But how many of us truly understand how a clandestine Sicilian criminal organisation came to exert its influence over nearly every level of American society?In BORGATA: RISE OF EMPIRE, former mafia member Louis Ferrante pulls back the curtain on the criminal organisation that transformed America. From the potent political cauldron of nineteenth-century Sicily to American cities such as New Orleans, New York and the gangster's paradise of Las Vegas, Ferrante traces the social, economic and political forces that powered the mafia's unstoppable rise. We follow the early mob as they provide alcohol to the American public during prohibition, aid U. S. Naval Intelligence during the Second World War, establish a gambling mecca in the Nevada desert - and unofficially take control of the island of Cuba.Ferrante's vivid portrayal of early American mobsters - among them Lucky Luciano, Vito Genovese, Frank Costello and Meyer Lansky - fills in crucial gaps of mafia history to deliver the most comprehensive account yet of the world's most famous criminal fraternity.This volume is the first in a groundbreaking new trilogy from a man who has seen it all from the inside. Ferrante's masterful account journeys from the group's inauspicious beginnings to the height of their power as the most influential organised criminal network in America. - Häftad, Engelska, 2019

The Mob is notorious for its cruel and immoral practices, but its most successful members have always been extremely smart businessmen. Now, former mobster Louis Ferrante reveals its surprisingly effective management techniques and explains how to apply them-legally-to any legitimate business. As an associate of the Gambino family, Ferrante relied on his instincts to pull off some of the biggest heists in U.S. history. By the age of twenty-one, he had netted millions of dollars for his employers. His natural talent for management led Mafia bosses to rely on him. After being arrested and serving an eight-and-a-half-year prison sentence, Ferrante went straight. He realized that the Mob''s most valuable business lessons would allow him to survive and thrive in the real world. Now he offers eighty-eight time-tested Mafia strategies, including: * Go get your own coffee!: Respecting the chain of command without being a sucker. * The walls have ears: Never bad-mouth the boss. * Is this phone tapped?: Watch what you say every day. * How to bury the hatchet-but not in someone''s head. * Don''t split yourself in half: The wrong decision is better than none at all. * Don''t build Yankee stadium, just supply the concrete: Spotting new rackets. * Leave the gun, take the cannolis...and beware of hubris. Ferrante brings his real-life experiences to the book, offering fascinating advice that really works and sharing behind-the-scenes episodes almost as outrageous as those occurring on Wall Street every day. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2024

Uraauurtava mafian historia
Mafian riveissä itsekin palvelleen Louis Ferranten Borgata avaa historiatrilogian mafian synnystä, kehityksestä ja rappeutumisesta.
Mafia on edelleen yksi suurimmista järjestäytyneistä rikollisryhmistä Yhdysvalloissa, ja se toimii ympäri maailmaa. Tässä tietokirjatrilogian ensimmäisessä osassa entinen mafian jäsen Louis Ferrante pureutuu mafian syntyyn Sisiliassa ja sen levittäytymiseen Yhdysvaltoihin. Ferrante kuvaa italialaisten maahanmuuttajien emigroitumista vanhalta mantereelta Yhdysvaltoihin ja sitä, miten he pyrkivät irrottautumaan sisilialaisten hallinnasta mutta säilyttivät vanhan maailman kunnian, vaikenemisen ja verikoston periaatteet.
Borgata-sarjan ensimmäisessä osassa Ferrante kuvaa Lucky Lucianon, Vito Genovesen ja Al Caponen kaltaisten gangsterilegendojen nousua. Kirja valottaa, kuinka mafia rikastui kieltolain aikaan 1920-luvulla, teki Las Vegasista uhkapelaajien mekan ja käytännössä otti haltuunsa koko Kuuban saaren.
Louis Ferrante (s. 1969) on entinen newyorkilaisen Gambino-rikollisperheen jäsen. Suorittaessaan kahdeksan ja puolen vuoden vankeustuomiotaan Ferrante kiinnostui historiasta, filosofiasta ja kirjoittamisesta. Vapauduttuaan vankilasta hän alkoi kirjoittaa true crime- ja tietokirjoja. Ferrantella on myös oma tv-ohjelma Discovery-kanavalla.

Uraauurtava mafian historia jatkuu
Entinen mafian jäsen Louis Ferrante jatkaa historiatrilogiansa toisessa osassa Borgata: vallan haastajat mafian tarinaa Yhdysvalloissa vuodesta 1960 alkaen.
Ensimmäinen vakava ulkoinen uhka amerikkalaisen mafian olemassaololle tuli 1960-luvulla oikeusministeri Robert F. Kennedyn johtamalta ministeriöltä, joka yhdessä FBI:n kanssa kävi mafian kimppuun. Mafia reagoi hyökkäämällä Yhdysvaltain presidentti John F. Kennedyä vastaan.
Presidentin kuoltua ja oikeusministerin jätettyä virkansa paine mafiaa vastaan hellitti ja järjestö pyrki palaamaan normaaliin rikolliseen toimintaansa. Mafian sisällä alkoi kuitenkin kuohua: Brooklynissa Larry, Albert ja Crazy Joe Gallo aloittivat kapinan borgatansa perustajaa ja johtajaa Joe Profacia vastaan. Tämä Gallo-Profaci-sisällissota ei ollut vielä ehtinyt edes päättyä, kun jo nuorena mafiaperheen pomoksi noussut Joe Bonanno haastoi komissioksi kutsutun mafian hallintoelimen.
Louis Ferranten mafiahistorian toinen osa kertoo amerikkalaisen mafian vallan haastajista vuosina 1960–1985, jolloin mafia joutui taistelemaan olemassaolostaan sisäisiä ja ulkoisia uhkia vastaan. Ferrante tarjoa myös uusia näkökulmia moniin mafiasalaisuuksiin, kuten Jimmy Hoffan kuolemaan.
Louis Ferrante (s. 1969) on entinen newyorkilaisen Gambino-rikollisperheen jäsen. Hänen amerikkalaisen mafian historiasta kertovassa Borgata-sarjassaan on julkaistu kirjat Borgata: amerikkalaisen mafian nousu ja Borgata: vallan haastajat. Trilogian päätösosa ilmestyy vuonna 2026. Ferrantella on myös oma tv-ohjelma Discovery-kanavalla.
