À propos de cet audio
"Friendships, connections, family ties, trust, loyalty, obedience - this was the 'glue' that held us together." These were the principles that the greatest Mafia "Boss of Bosses", Joseph Bonanno, lived by. Born in Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily, Bonanno found his future amid the whiskey-running, riotous streets of Prohibition America in 1924, when he illegally entered the United States to pursue his dreams. By the age of only 26, Bonanno became a don. He eventually took over the New York underworld, igniting the "Castellammarese War", one of the bloodiest Family battles ever to hit New York City.
Now, in this candid and stunning memoir, Joe Bonanno - likely a model for Don Corleone in the blockbuster movie The Godfather - takes listeners inside the world of the real Mafia. He reveals the inner workings of New York's Five Families - Bonanno, Gambino, Profaci, Lucchese, and Genovese - and uncovers how the Mafia not only dominated local businesses, but also influenced national politics. A fascinating glimpse into the world of crime, A Man of Honor is an unforgettable account of one of the most powerful crime figures in America's history.

Great Story - Wrong Narrator
This is a fascinating story about the history of Italian organized crime in America. It is the personal narrative of a proud intelligent crime boss. A deep source of his pride is his Sicilian heritage.
The narrator, Tom Perkins has a pleasant voice and clear diction. He is suited to narrate many books. Not this one! Mr. Perkins does not have an ear for the Italian language. He mangles the names of people and places. Why is this important? Because the music of the Italian language is integral to the essence of this story. It contributes to an understanding of the author's values, his worldview, and his character.
The narrator's Italian pronunciation distorts and diminishes the power of the words he reads. The effect, to a listener who knows Italian, is like hearing a cherished song played by a non-musician. Tom Perkins is qualified to present the facts of the story. The deeper meaning of that story lies way beyond the facts.

Good book
loved it. Wondering how the US Government can work hand in glove with these guys, then go after them like rabid dogs? If you lay with dogs, don't whine about the fleas.
