Mafia Hits, Misses, Wars, and Prosecutions

The Mafia has been an extremely adaptive organization-no matter how many bosses are prosecuted, murdered, retire, or die of natural causes, the Mafia continues to adapt and thrive. Mafia Hits, Misses, Wars, and Prosecutions is about pivotal events that changed the way the Italian American Mafia has done business since its establishment in the United States. This book covers the murders and wars that ended the careers of Mafia bosses from the Five Families and the prosecutors who built successful political careers following noteworthy mob convictions, including Thomas Dewey, William O'Dwyer, Burton Turkus, Robert F. Kennedy, and Rudolph Giuliani.
