A riveting history of the Mafia from 1860s Sicily to 1960s America-as narrated by a former heist expert and Gambino family mobster.
The mafia has long held a powerful sway over our collective cultural imagination. But how many of us truly understand how a clandestine Sicilian criminal organization came to exert its influence over nearly every level of American society?
In Borgata: Rise of Empire, former mobster Louis Ferrante pulls back the curtain on the criminal organization that transformed America. From the potent political cauldron of nineteenth-century Sicily to New Orleans, New York and the gangster paradise of Las Vegas, Ferrante traces the social, economic, and political forces that powered the mafia's unstoppable rise.
Ferrante's vivid portrayal of early American mobsters-Lucky Luciano, Vito Genovese, Frank Costello, and Meyer Lansky-fills in crucial gaps of the mafia narrative to deliver the most comprehensive account yet of the world's most famous criminal fraternity.
Borgata: Rise of Empire-the first in a three-volume epic history-is a groundbreaking achievement from a man who has seen it all from the inside. In this masterful accomplishment, Ferrante takes the reader from the mafia's inauspicious beginnings to the height of their power as the most influential criminal network in the country.
