The First Family: Giuseppe Morello and the Birth of the American Mafia
Before the "Five Families" ruled New York’s underworld, one man reigned supreme: Giuseppe Morello, the "boss of bosses." In this compelling work, Mike Dash resurrects the little-known story of the American Mafia’s birth at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Spanning three decades, the narrative moves from the villages of Sicily to the streets of Little Italy. Dash draws on a vast array of previously unpublished sources, including secret service archives, prison records, and interviews with surviving Mafia family members. This unique account explains in detail how Italian ethnic organized crime took root in the United States, nearly bringing the American justice system to its knees. With a foreword by Dmitry "Goblin" Puchkov, this edition offers a deep, documented dive into a foundational chapter of crime history.
