Acerca de este título

 The first hundred years of the American Mafia's existence would come to be seen as a golden age. From small-town Sicily to glittering Las Vegas, the mob had carefully expanded and consolidated their power until their influence touched almost every aspect of American society. But in the 1960s, everything changed.

In CLASH OF TITANS, the second volume of former Mafia associate Louis Ferrante's groundbreaking Borgata trilogy, we discover for the first time the true scale of the conflicts that rocked the organisation between 1960 and 1985. From Robert F. Kennedy's personal crusade against the unexpecting mob to covert assassinations, betrayal by government informants and full-blown insurrections, we follow the Mafia from the apex of their power to their descent into civil war.

This story takes place against the backdrop of a changing America, where shadowy CIA conspiracies, brutal Justice Department battles and J Edgar Hoover's FBI all leave their mark on the Mafia tale.

Ferrante's insider history sheds new light on men so powerful they have since become household names: Jimmy Hoffa, Crazy Joe Gallo, Carlo Gambino and more. And, as ruthless infighting leads to rebellion, we watch as a bitter power struggle between Paul Castellano and the young John Gotti begins.©2024 Louis Ferrante Literatura de género Médica Novela histórica

Reseñas de la crítica

A detailed work that covers major events in American mafia history . . . highly entertaining
You could fill a whole library with books about the mob and the history of the mafia. [Borgata] stands out thanks to the background of its author, Louis Ferrante
A fascinating inside look at the history of the mafia . . . Ferrante's familiarity with mafia customs gives flesh and immediacy to what could otherwise be a rote historical tome, but he doesn't draw his authority from affiliation alone: this is a well-researched history in its own right. True crime fans will be captivated (Praise for Louis Ferrante)
He may be a loss to the criminal fraternity, [but] he is most certainly an asset to the literary world (Aspects of History podcast)
It's very rare when someone from Lou's world has the heart of a writer. Criminal experiences don't usually lead to great insights. Louis Ferrante is different - his talent for storytelling shines through (Nicholas Pileggi, author of Wise Guy and Casino)
Building his case in concise, economical prose, Ferrante draws on an extensive knowledge of world events, mob lore and personal experience . . . a rousing memoir, meditation on world history and Mafia exposé all in one (Kirkus Reviews on Mob Rules)
Being inside Ferrante's mind is an amazing experience (Joel Stein)
Drawing on his experience as an ex-mobster, Ferrante peppers his stories with enlightening morsels about the conditions that facilitated the rise and impunity of organised criminals (Kirkus Reviews on Borgata: Rise of Empire)
