- This 125,000-word, single authored book represents the results of five years of research. It covers over a century (1859-1980s) of interactions between organized criminal groups and political entities in Italy, the US, Caribbean, Mexico and West Africa. Research required multiple international trips to track down, consult and corroborate large volumes of previously unpublished and archival sources. The comparative and long-durée scope of the research, and the hidden nature of political-criminal interactions, required deep reading into multiple national, local and transnational political contexts. All of this led to a sustained and complex research effort over several years.
