Genovese, Gambino, Bonnano, Colombo, and Lucchese. For decades these Five Families ruled New York and built the American Mafia (or Cosa Nostra) into an underworld empire. Today, the Mafia is an endangered species, battered and beleaguered by aggressive investigators, incompetent leadership, betrayals, and generational changes that produced violent, unreliable leaders and recruits. A 20-year assault against the five families in particular blossomed into the most successful law enforcement campaign of the last century.

Selwyn Raab's Five Families is the vivid story of the rise and fall of New York's premier dons, from Lucky Luciano to Paul Castellano to John Gotti and more. The book also brings the listener right up to the possible resurgence of the Mafia as the FBI and local law enforcement agencies turn their attention to homeland security and away from organized crime.

I loved this book. Incredibly informative. I thought this was going to be a book that painted Cosa Nostra in a better light, much like the GodFather movies or really any other Mobster movie, but it definitely did not. There arent a ton of books out there that straight up tell you that mobsters are bad guys. Dont fall for the Hollywood tricks. Once I started it, I couldn't stop.

Very informative

The Best book

why do some narrators way over pronounce certain words? I will be hearing this narrator say "Boar-got-ah" in my nightmares

Good material narration is annoying at times

Selwyn Raab has written a huge book here. Long and bloody, Five Families is a great history of the Mafia families in the USA. Well written, Raab paints an extensive picture of how the Mafia has shaped the 20th century in NY and the USA. I have removed a star because of a few errors (repeated words and sentences) in the recording. Apart from that, a good book for anybody looking for an overall picture of organised crime in America.

A big long bloody history

interesting storyline. I'm left with the impression that inept leaders are allowing these gang types to flourish in our society by stripping budgets and bickering interagency. meanwhile domestic and foreign gangs prey on more people.... same as it ever was.

mob rules
