Does anyone have any good books on the Sicilian Mafia to suggest? I have always been interested in the Sicilian Mafia but, know very little about it. I looked in the Mafia Books thread, but there are few books on the Sicilian Mafia mentioned there. I'm especially looking for your suggestion, Floors .

Try the "History of the Cosa Nostra By John Dickie"

The Mafia Is Not Primarily An Organisation Of Murderers.
First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves.
It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.

Between The Law And The Mafia, The Law Is Not The Most To Be Feared

"What if the Mafia were not an organization but a widespread Sicilian attitude of hostility towards the law?"

Yeah, I've read The Sicilian. It was a great book but didn't focus very much on the Sicilian Mafia.

Thanks DE NIRO, I will check that book out.

Theres not really much that are good. All the other ones have false info'. Bad luck for you I guess, go with DENIRO's idea, then.

I may have a bad reputation but I don't have a bad gun.

Hey DE NIRO, I bought Cosa Nostra and have read a few chapters. I am already, very happy about my purchase. It is very informative, and well written. Thanks.
