Resumen del Editor

During most of the Twentieth Century when syndicated Italian organized crime flourished in America, there existed a management structure consisting of notorious gangsters possessing diverse strategies and skills directed toward the perpetuation of the control of a vast network of criminal enterprises throughout North America. Although violent lawbreakers, they were not all bloodthirsty thugs lacking cerebral talents and positive public images. Still today, their historic exploits and identities remain popular with the American public in the form of documentaries, screenplays and novels.

In 2020, 75 million Americans cast presidential ballots for a candidate who mimicked many of the negative characteristics of those mobsters. Had this electoral atmosphere existed during the era of the Cosa Nostra, might a different kind of "Don" become a leading contender for the White House?
