Description
by David Pietras (Author)
New York City is the place of origin for organized crime in the United States. Currently, there are five families in the New York City outfit of La Cosa Nostra. This book will give background information on each of the five families. First of all, the five families are Gambino, Genovese, Colombo, Bonanno, and Lucchese. These names come from Joe Valachi. He was a low ranking soldier who was the first man to break the omerta, or code of silence. The family names come from him, because he testified as to who the bosses were of the five families at the time of his arrest in 1959. The only difference is the Colombo family. It was under the control of Joe Profaci in 1959, but Joe Colombo became famous in the 1960's and therefore, his name has been used to identify the family since then. From the "old country" of Sicily, to the streets of New York City we will see what it truly means to be "Made in New York City".
