Mafia, USA

Edited by Nicholas Gage. Gruesome pics on the back underline the point that the Mafia is not "a quaint and somehow endearing family enterprise," as do the pieces in this collection. This 1973 Dell paperback reprint is in very good shape -- very mild shelfwear, some page toning, but the uncracked spine is nice and straight, edge tint still bright. A fine reading copy of contemporary thinking on LCN.
