Into the Heart of the Mafia by David Lane
The hold of the Mafia on southern Italy, from Naples, home of Mafia-controlled mozzarella and toxic waste, through no less rotten Calabria to Sicily, cradle of Cosa Nostra, is as strong as ever. This book shows how globalisation has transformed the Mafia into more than simply a local phenomenon.
Powerful... a sensitive portrait of heroic, often isolated individuals who have fought against 150 years of criminality ... meticulous reporting ...an indictment not of the Mafia, but of the Italian government and of Roman Catholic establishments -- Guy Dinmore * Financial Times *
