Mafia life: love, death and money at the heart of organised crime
‘Becoming part of the Mafia is equivalent to religious conversion. One cannot retire from the priesthood or the Mafia’. In Mafia Life: Love, Death and Money at the Heart of Organised Crime, Federico Varese, one of the most authoritative scholars on organised crime, intends to provide his reader with a human dimension of four transnational organised crime groups. The main contribution of Varese’s book is that he has given a well-rounded perspective through systematic research on Mafia life, which is one of its kind for the first time in this line of academic work.
