Hardback. Zustand: Good. NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES The electrifying, untold story of the women born into the most deadly and obscenely wealthy of the Italian mafias - and how they risked everything to bring it down. The Calabrian Mafia--known as the 'Ndrangheta--is one of the richest and most ruthless crime syndicates in the world, with branches stretching from America to Australia. It controls seventy percent of the cocaine and heroin supply in Europe, manages billion-dollar extortion rackets, brokers illegal arms deals--supplying weapons to criminals and terrorists--and plunders the treasuries of both Italy and the European Union. The 'Ndrangheta's power derives from a macho mix of violence and silence--omertà. Yet it endures because of family ties: you are born into the syndicate, or you marry in. Loyalty is absolute. Bloodshed is revered. You go to prison or your grave and kill your own father, brother, sister, or mother in cold blood before you betray The Family. Accompanying the 'Ndrangheta's reverence for tradition and history is a violent misogyny among its men. Women are viewed as chattel, bargaining chips for building and maintaining clan alliances and beatings--and worse--are routine. In 2009, after one abused 'Ndrangheta wife was murdered for turning state's evidence, prosecutor Alessandra Cerreti considered a tantalizing possibility: that the 'Ndrangheta's sexism might be its greatest flaw--and her most effective weapon. Approaching two more mafia wives, Alessandra persuaded them to testify in return for a new future for themselves and their children. A feminist saga of true crime and justice, The Good Mothers is the riveting story of a high-stakes battle pitting a brilliant, driven woman fighting to save a nation against ruthless mafiosi fighting for their existence. Caught in the middle are three women fighting for their children and their lives. Not all will survive.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. THERE IS A BLACK "CLOSEOUT/REMAINDER" MARK ON THE BOTTOM PAGE EDGES. The Calabrian mafia -- known as the 'Ndrangheta -- is no myth or movie but one of the richest and most ruthless crime syndicates ever to exist, with operations from America to Australia. With its control of seventy percent of the cocaine supply in Europe, billion-dollar extortion rackets, the embezzlement of billions more in Italian state and European Union funds, a global illegal arms business, and a money laundering empire that cleans money for organized crime the world over, it earns $50 to $100 billion a year, around 3.5 percent of Italy's annual economic output. How did the 'Ndrangheta grow so big? Why has almost no one ever heard of it? One word: omerta, a claustrophobic secrecy enforced by excruciating violence. Loyalty is absolute. Bloodshed is revered. You go to prison or your grave and kill your own father, brother, sister, or mother before you betray The Family. Accompanying this reverence for blood, kin, and tradition is a violent misogyny. Women are viewed as chattel, vassals of property and honor, to be beaten and married off -- or worse -- as the men decree. When Lea Garofalo marries a man she thinks will save her from the mob only to discover he is an 'Ndrangheta cocaine smuggler, she helps send him to prison and goes into hiding with her young daughter. Thirteen years later, in 2009, Lea "disappears." For most Italians, Lea's fate is just another mafia tragedy. But prosecutor Alessandra Cereti considers a tantalizing possibility: that the 'Ndrangheta's murderous sexism might be its greatest flaw -- and her most effective weapon. Approaching two more mafia wives, Alessandra must persuade them to court death by testifying against their families in return for a new future for themselves and their children. A feminist saga of true crime and justice, The Good Mothers is the riveting story of a high-stakes battle that pits a brilliant, driven woman fighting to save a nation against astonishingly powerful mafiosi fighting for their existence. Caught in the middle are three mothers fighting for their lives. Not all will survive. THERE IS A BLACK "CLOSEOUT/REMAINDER" MARK ON THE BOTTOM PAGE EDGES.…
