  Godfathers charts the evolution of the modern mafia through the lives and criminal exploits of the most famous Italian and American bosses, as recounted and witnessed by New York police officers, FBI experts, carabinieri and Italian Special Police forces. Much blood has been spilt on account of the Sicilian and American mafias - and almost as much ink has been expended upon the details of their culture and crimes. However, little has been revealed about the brutal, elusive figures who masterminded the birth and the growth of one of the most powerful organizations in the world. Enriched by carefully researched material, first-hand documents and previously unpublished photographs, Roberto Olla's page-turning account of the mysterious lives and harrowing crimes of the mafia dons takes us into the heart of the Cosa Nostra's innermost circle.
