Reviews

"A fascinating case of how criminals are made, broken--and made again." --The Huffington Post

"Well written and well researched." --The Telegraph (Books of the Year) (UK)

"This interesting book separates the truth about Luciano from the stories and movies about his life." --The Oklahoman

"A must for true-crime fans." --News of the World (UK)

"Newark provides what is, probably, the most balanced biography of a man who often claimed to be a victim, but had little thought for his own victims." --BBC History Magazine

"Great detective work here. Tim Newark has uncovered fascinating new angles on the Lucky Luciano story and tells it well." --John Dickie, author of Cosa Nostra

"Tim Newark's beautifully written and thoroughly researched studies offer new information and penetrating insights on hitherto little-known chapters in the history of American organized crime." --Robert Rockaway, author of But He Was Good to His Mother

"The victory of Mafia Allies is the depth the author brings to the subject." --New York Post on Mafia Allies

"Mafia Allies follows the fortunes of the Italian and American Cosa Nostra during the Second World War and brilliantly explodes a large number of myths in the process." --Daily Telegraph (UK) on Mafia Allies
