The Boss of Bosses: The Life of the Infamous Toto Riina Dreaded Head of the Sicilian Mafia - Softcover
In the fields of a forgotten post-war Sicily, an obsession with power was growing; Salvatore 'Totò' Riina, the shrewd peasant Corleone, became the boss of bosses and Palermo was conquered, one crime at a time. With his small army of assassins, he seized control of the most formidable mafia in the world and began an attack on the state: bombs, massacres and bloody conflicts initiated by a man who thought he was invincible.
Until 1992 and the murders of Falcone and Borsellino. Then Riina was captured after nearly a quarter of a century on the run, an event still shrouded in controversy. Now in prison for over twenty years, Totò Riina remains the dictator of the Cosa Nostra from behind bars. Through the genuine testimony of the Sicilian Corleone, this a tale of desperate poverty, power and bloodshed - and one man's fight to rule supreme.

About the Author:
Review:
Attilio Bolzoni is the author of six books regarding the mafia, and won the Italian E GIORNALISMO PRIZE in 2009 for being the 'best chronicler of the South' and 'a journalist who has always followed scrupulously and seriously inquiries that have made the reader understand the severity of the Mafia'.
Giuseppe D'Avanzo was a journalist and writer; he was deputy director and columnist at the Italian LA REPUBBLICA newspaper, as well as author of a series of investigative reports that have marked the political history of Italy, as well as investigating international cases such as the Litvinenko case.
Forget the Sopranos because this is the real thing; the full and true story of the Life and Times of Toto Riina, the Cosa Nostra boss who terrorised Sicily... Not a glamorous life and not one to envy, but one that shows an addiction to power and violence can be the most fateful of all―NORTHERN ECHO
