Honoured Society The Sicilian Mafia Observed

Describes how the US army returned the Mafia to power in 1944, after Mussolini came close to destroying them. It looks at the Mafia in their homeland - how in attempting to preserve Sicily for the Sicilians in the face of countless invasions it infiltrated every aspect of the islands life, corrupting landowners, the police, the judiciary and even the church. In one chilling chapter Norman Lewis details the escapades of eighty-year-old Padre Camelo, who led his monks on sprees of murder and extortion, frequently using the confessional box for transmitting threats.Lewis, Norman is the author of 'Honoured Society The Sicilian Mafia Observed' with ISBN 9780907871484 and ISBN 0907871488.
