The Mob written and read by Martin Fido

The American film industry has much to thank the Mafia for. But the true story of the violent rise of the world's most powerful crime organisation is far more fantastic than even Scorcese and Coppola's acclaimed celluloid depictions.
In these compelling files leading criminologist and broadcaster Martin Fido takes us on a one way ride into the dark and secret world of mobsters like Al Capone and Lucky Luciano, Bugsy Siegel and Dutch Schultz.
He introduces us to drive-by killings and Sicilian handshakes, hit men and showgirls, the St Valentines Day Massacre and the night of the Sicilian Vespers. And he dares us to believe that it is anything but a completely true story.

Running time: 3hrs
Warning: Includes details of true murders which some may find offensive or distressing.
