مقالات حول أحداث وشخصيات المافيا الإيطالية في أميركا جذورها ونشأتها وتطورها. مرتب زمانيا؛ مليء بالصور ومعظمها بالأبيض والأسود لأن ذروة المافيا كانت في منتصف القرن الماضي؛ منسّق بالألوان والخطوط.

أعجبني احترام الأمريكان للحقوق الدستورية، وعدم خلطهم بين غضبهم على المافيا وبين الالتزام بالإجراءات القانونية. ففي عالمنا العربي لا حقوق ولا التزام، هذا ومجرمونا أقل إجراما من المافيا، ومشرعونا أفضل من نظائرهم الغربيين من حيث العروبة والإسلام.

The mob : inside the brutal world of the Mafia. The sections in this book are as follows: The Mob in Photos, The Crime World, A Rogue’s Gallery, Why We Love the Mob, and The Modern Mobster. I can’t narrow it down to one favorite part. I grew up in Chicagoland. I now live in the Las Vegas valley. Therefore, I love it all!
