Into the Heart of the Mafia is a fascinating look at the reality of life under the shadow of the Cosa Nostra. While it will undoubtedly appeal to fans of Goodfellas, The Sopranos and The Godfather, it is certainly no romanticised look at a glamorous world of ‘made men’, omertà or goomahs. Rather it’s a tour of Sicily and the south of Italy, the barren homelands where the cancer of organised crime has eaten away at the spirit of the population, turning them into cynical, bitter people and leaving the region’s towns depressed and impoverished.
This is an insightful and impressively detailed book, which gives a taste of how corruption really works.
