Recenzje

'… the book is an invaluable read for students and scholars in the field who will find a copious amount of fodder for their future research. One must also not forget, given the clandestine nature of mafia operations, that compiling the vast amount of disaggregated information and data on mafia families of the chosen regions is a tall order. And for that, Catino richly deserves praise. Written lucidly … the book overall is a valuable repository of scholarly knowledge on both organizational theories and the mafia.' Yugank Goyal, American Journal of Sociology
