Mafia. Camorra. 'Ndrangheta.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sicilian mafia, or Cosa Nostra, is far from being Italy's only dangerous criminal fraternity. The south of the country hosts two other major mafias: the camorra, from Naples and its hinterland; and the 'ndrangheta, the mafia from the poor and isolated region of Calabria that has now risen to become the most powerful mob of all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach of these brotherhoods has its own methods, its own dark rituals, its own style of ferocity and corruption. Their early history is little known; indeed some of it has been entirely shrouded in myth and silence until now.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBLOOD BROTHERHOODS is a book of breathtaking ambition, charting the birth and rise of all three of Italy's mafias. It blends ground-breaking archival research, passionate narrative, and shrewd historical analysis to bring Italy's unique 'criminal ecosystem', and the three terrifying criminal brotherhoods that evolved within it, to life on the page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dickie, John","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":49198407287123,"sku":"XV80340963937","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/dickie-john-blood-brotherhoods-the-rise-of-the-italian-mafias-xv80340963937-58239916409171.jpg?v=1727664614","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/blood-brotherhoods-the-rise-of-the-italian-mafias","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
