Five Families. Five Empires. One Unforgettable Underworld Saga.
For more than a century, New York City was ruled not just by politicians or businessmen, but by five powerful Mafia dynasties operating in the shadows.
The Five Families of New York - The Complete 5-Book Collection brings together the full true crime histories of the Gambino, Genovese, Lucchese, Colombo, and Bonanno crime families in one comprehensive volume.
From the bloody Castellammarese War of the 1930s…
To the creation of the Mafia Commission…
To the rise of legendary bosses like Carlo Gambino, Vito Genovese, Tommy Lucchese, Joseph Colombo, Carmine Persico, and Joseph Bonanno…
To the explosive reign of John Gotti and the federal prosecutions that followed…
This collection pulls back the curtain on the real story behind America’s most powerful organized crime syndicate.
Inside this complete 5-book collection, you will
• How Sicilian Mafia traditions evolved into a nationwide criminal empire
• The structure of the Commission and the birth of the Five Families
• The union rackets, construction monopolies, and waterfront control that fueled billions in illegal profits
• The heroin pipelines, hijackings, and historic heists that shaped underworld history
• The internal wars that nearly destroyed entire families
• The assassinations that changed the balance of power overnight
• The FBI wiretaps, informants, and RICO trials that shattered the code of silence
• How some families adapted and survived into the modern era
