OF 1860 A OUR DAYS
JOHN DICKIE
8/10
GANGSTER WHEELS
John
Dickie proposes the history of the Maffia to us. With many bounces this history deserves the turning. The origins of the company of the men of honour are revealed to us. Thanks to John Dickie one compprend better the operation of this secret society and criminal acting in Sicily and in the United States. One also learns how collusions between the politicians and the Maffia are create. It gouvernemment seems a genuine instrument of local. The determination of the Gangsters concern not for terminal, it is striking to note, that neither the two world wars, neither Fascism, nor a more repressive apparatus developped at the point by Giovanni Falcone until today could not make disappear this contamination. One can wonder some whether finnalement nor suffisament do not find advantages to do it perdurer. During 150 years of existence the Maffia knew periods plus record that others and it is in years 60-70 that it made low hand on the world heroin traffic to grow rich with turn by arm. Its main thing and intolerable income are the “Pizzo” or racket of protection. The Maffia also has are proper regulator, it knows several internal wars. The judges and the prefects of police force deal with the remainder. The cinema brings to these villains a kind of respectability and prestige. But go account that the last of the Godfathers, Bernardo Provenzano was caught after 43 years of mare the shortly after the defeat of Silvio Berlusconi to the national elections Italians, it is perhaps not mere chance. The godfathers of Corleone like Louse Riina and Luciano Leggio will have a little less secrecy for you after the reading of this disconcerting test, detailed, in two words fascinating and legendary.
