Mafia Sons by Douglas Abraham Pdf

Mafia Sons traces the evolution of a son who becomes a don. A devoted, kind, and gentle husband transforms into a ruthless murderer when he takes the mantle and becomes the don, the ruler of the family. Ellen and Antonio fly to Venice and Rome on a buying trip, spending millions for jewelry and haute couture fashions. Antonio is caring, loving, and giving. They fly on to Sicily where he deposits by bank transfers hundreds of millions of dollars in numbered accounts. He also arranges for protection for his father, the Don, who is escaping New York before his pending indictments. Ellen, a beautiful, loving, and caring wife, learns of her husband’s involvement with the Mafia. During their six-year idyllic, wonderful marriage, she has been told Antonio was an investment banker. When she learns of his ascension as the don and of the cruel, murderous acts committed after he became the head of the family, she struggles to find a way to escape with her young son, Joey. She realizes he will be faced with the same personality and morals changes if he is allowed to remain a son in that household. Ellen secretly vows Joey will not become a don and tries to find a way to escape with him. Dan, a handsome FBI Agent, meets her to tell of Antonio’s murderous deeds. He reveals Antonio is in collusion with Al Qaeda to bomb the Security Exchange building in New York. When Antonio becomes aware Ellen knows all about him and his involvement, he sets out to stop her from taking Joey and to keep her from revealing his traitorous plans. Ellen had always been told Antonio’s mother died when he was very young. She meets her in Central Park. She is the lady who always comes to visit with Joey and his nursemaid. Ellen realizes it is Joey’s grandmother. Ellen hears of Antonio’s mother’s experiences with Antonio’s father when he became the don. She had escaped, taking another identity, hoping to take her young Antonio with her, but she was prevented from doing so. When Antonio learned Ellen knows of his murderous acts and traitorous plans, he sets out to do away with her. There are numerous spellbinding chase and escape scenes with Antonio’s men, who are in pursuit of Ellen. She alone and with the help of Dan manages to escape Antonio and his force of men on eight suspenseful occasions, each time barely escaping. Ellen is caught by Antonio when she tries to slip into their condo to take Joey. He forces her to go to the wharf where he is to meet with two members of Al Qaeda. Antonio is to deliver a truck with tons of explosives. In exchange, he is to receive a huge monetary payment. Using James Bond–like devices furnished to her by Dan and the FBI, Ellen manages to kill Antonio just as he is about to kill her. This is a novel of twenty chapters, each written to become part of a series for TV or a movie after its initial publication. Ellen—a beautiful, young, caring mother and wife who discovers, after six years of marriage, her husband is a member of the Mafia and is soon to be the don. Antonio Jr.—Ellen’s husband. At first a loving, gentle husband, he becomes a monster when he assumes the murderous authority and becomes the don. Antonio Sr.—The don is preparing to escape to Sicily to dodge numerous grand jury felony counts and charges. Dan—the FBI agent used by the FBI to deal with the ladies. He is good-looking and eligible. He falls for Ellen and Ellen falls for him. They have numerous close encounters but manage to escape from Antonio’s men.

Mafia Son by Sandra Harmon Pdf

The Scarpas were a Mafia dynasty led by Greg Scarpa Sr., a man so addicted to killing that he was nicknamed “The Grim Reaper.” His son, Gregory Jr., was slowly drawn into his father’s dark world. What only father and son knew was that for thirty years, starting in the 1960s, Scarpa Sr. was an informant for the FBI. Then, faced with arrest two decades later, Greg dropped the time on his own son. Gregory Jr. was imprisoned alongside terrorist Ramzi Yousef. He offered to trade information on Yousef with the government in exchange for leniency, providing detailed intelligence on what would eventually result in the September 11attacks. His warnings were ignored, and he was sentenced to forty years to life in prison, where he remains. A story that gained national notoriety, this is an “enthralling look at ties between the Mafia and the FBI” (Booklist).

Women of the Mafia by Felia Allum Pdf

Women of the Mafia dives into the Neapolitan criminal underworld of the Camorra as seen and lived by the women who inhabit it. It tells their life stories and unpacks the gender dynamics by examining their participation as active agents in the organization as leaders, managers, foot soldiers, and enablers. Felia Allum shows that these women are true partners in crime. The author offers an innovative interdisciplinary analysis that demystifies the notion that the Camorra is a sexist, male-centric organization. She links her analysis of Camorra culture within the wider Neapolitan context to show how mothers and women act and are treated in the private sphere of the household and how the family helps explain the power women have found in the Neapolitan Camorra. It is civil society and law enforcement agencies that continue to see the Camorra using traditional gender assumptions which render women irrelevant and lacking independent agency in the criminal underworld. In Women of the Mafia, Allum debunks these assumptions by revealing the power and influence of women in the Camorra.

Tough Jews by Richard Cohen Pdf

Award-winning writer Rich Cohen excavates the real stories behind the legend of infamous criminal enforcers Murder, Inc. and contemplates the question: Where did the tough Jews go? In 1930s Brooklyn, there lived a breed of men who now exist only in legend and in the memories of a few old-timers: Jewish gangsters, fearless thugs with nicknames like Kid Twist Reles and Pittsburgh Phil Strauss. Growing up in Brownsville, they made their way from street fights to underworld power, becoming the execution squad for a national crime syndicate. Murder Inc. did for organized crime what Henry Ford did for the automobile, and Tough Jews is the first in-depth portrait of these men, a thrilling glimpse at the muscle that made possible the success of gangster statesmen such as Bugsy Siegel, Meyer Lansky, and Lucky Luciano. For Rich Cohen, who grew up in suburban Illinois in the 1980s taunted by the stereotype of Jews as book-reading rule followers, the very idea of the Jewish gangster was a relief; for once, a Jew in jail did not have to be a white collar criminal. With a clear eye and a comic sensibility, Cohen looks beyond the blood and ultimately encounters each of these ruthless killers’ matzo-ball heart. Tough Jews shows what can happen when a member of the tribe combines brains, heart, and a dangerous determination never to back down.

For the Sins of My Father by Albert DeMeo Pdf

A suspenseful, emotionally charged real-life Sopranos: The son of New York's most notorious Mafia killer reveals the conflicted life he led being raised by a cold-blooded murderer, who was also a devoted family man, and the wrenching legacy of Mafia family life. Al DeMeo will never forget the day in 1992 when a coworker, a fellow trader at the New York Stock Exchange, taunted him with a copy of the hot new book Murder Machine, chronicling the horrific criminal life of DeMeo's father, Roy, the head of the most deadly gang in organized crime. The moment sent DeMeo into a psychological tailspin: How could he have spent his life looking up to, and loving, a vicious killer? For the Sins of My Father recounts the chilling rise and fall of the man who led the Gambino family's most fearsome killers and thieves, through the eyes of a son who had never known any other kind of life. Coming of age in an opulent Long Island house where money is abundant but its source is unclear, Al becomes Roy's confidant, sent to call in loans at age fourteen and gradually coming to understand his father's job description--loan shark, car thief, porn purveyor and, above all, murderer. But when Al is seventeen, Roy's body is found in the trunk of a car, a gangland slaying that places Al between federal prosecutors seeking his testimony and a mob crew determined to keep him quiet. Desperate to abide by the father-son bond, but equally determined to escape his father's dangerous and doomed life, Al Demeo embarks on a courageous quest for the truth, reconciliation, and honor. With the implacable narrative drive of a thriller and the power of a painfully honest memoir, For the Sins of My Father presents a startling and unprecedented perspective on the underworld of organized crime, exposing for the first time the cruel legacy of a Mafia life.

Popular Music and Public Diplomacy by Mario Dunkel,Sina A. Nitzsche Pdf

In the early years of the Cold War, Western nations increasingly adopted strategies of public diplomacy involving popular music. While the diplomatic use of popular music was initially limited to such genres as jazz, the second half of the 20th century saw a growing presence of various popular genres in diplomatic contexts, including rock, pop, bluegrass, flamenco, funk, disco, and hip-hop, among others. This volume illuminates the interrelation of popular music and public diplomacy from a transnational and transdisciplinary angle. The contributions argue that, as popular music has been a crucial factor in international relations, its diplomatic use has substantially impacted the global musical landscape of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Mafia Movies by Dana Renga Pdf

The mafia has always fascinated filmmakers and television producers. Al Capone, Salvatore Giuliano, Lucky Luciano, Ciro Di Marzio, Roberto Saviano, Don Vito and Michael Corleone, and Tony Soprano are some of the historical and fictional figures that contribute to the myth of the Italian and Italian-American mafias perpetuated onscreen. This collection looks at mafia movies and television over time and across cultures, from the early classics to the Godfather trilogy and contemporary Italian films and television series. The only comprehensive collection of its type, Mafia Movies treats over fifty films and TV shows created since 1906, while introducing Italian and Italian-American mafia history and culture. The second edition includes new original essays on essential films and TV shows that have emerged since the publication of the first edition, such as Boardwalk Empire and Mob Wives, as well as a new roundtable section on Italy's "other" mafias in film and television, written as a collaborative essay by more than ten scholars. The edition also introduces a new section called "Double Takes" that elaborates on some of the most popular mafia films and TV shows (e.g. The Godfather and The Sopranos) organized around themes such as adaptation, gender and politics, urban spaces, and performance and stardom.
