Reseña del libro "Lanza'S Mob: The Mafia and san Francisco (en Inglés)"
Presenting sociological as well as historical perspectives, this book supplies readers with a fascinating, unprecedented look at the most successful organized-crime family they've probably never heard of.From the 1920s until the early 21st century, one Sicilian mob family defied everyone from the California attorney general to J. Edgar Hoover to chart their own American Dream. Unlike their flashier rivals in New York and Chicago who met their end by the knife, the bullet, or a judge's gavel, this crime family prospered and grew alongside their adopted home of San Francisco. This book tells how they did it.Readers will learn how the Lanzas managed to retain control of their patch from the end of Prohibition through the Summer of Love and into the beginnings of the dot-com era, gaining insight into not only what the west-coast branch of the Mob did, but also why they did it. The documentation of how this mostly unknown crime syndicate formed, evolved, and eventually folded is set against the backdrop of the city of San Francisco transforming itself from a gritty port and manufacturing hub dominated by Italian- and Irish-Americans into the multicultural intellectual and services capital it is today.Sets forth the history of the San Francisco branch of the Italian Mafia for the first time in printExplains the specific societal and historical factors that gave rise to Italian organized crimeProvides a unique window into the crime family's history via a compendium of primary document resources that include newspapers such as the San Francisco Chronicle and The San Francisco Examiner as well as the Italian Central Archives
