Free Download Nando dalla Chiesa, "Against The Mafia: The Classic Italian Writings"
English | ISBN: 3031296192 | 2024 | 333 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 6 MB
This collection of classic texts offers a longitudinal overview of the Italian mafia through the eyes of those who have questioned it in the past 144 years. It presents English translations of the key works of, among others, judges (Giovanni Falcone), political theorists (Gaetano Mosca), trade unionists (Pio La Torre), journalists (Giuseppe Fava), generals (Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa), and priests (Don Diana). These critical voices have been foundational to shaping the way Italian culture, policies and legislation relate to the mafia phenomenon. They represent different political standpoints, from elitism to communism, as well as vastly different times, from post-feudalism to hyper globalization. This book offers a rare (and hitherto untranslated) insight into, not only the history of the Italian mafia and its conceptualizations, but also into the movement against the mafia, which is one of the longest lasting (and most unrecognized) European social movements. It provides a usefulhistorical archive of Italian political and sociological thought and a diversity of perspectives through which to tackle a complex and increasingly global criminological issue, making it relevant for those interested in Italian studies, political theory, sociology, criminology, legal studies, and history.

Free Download David M. Shapiro, "The Gig Mafia"
English | ISBN: 1953349846 | 2021 | 150 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Generally, the publics view of organized crime comes from stories of the so-called Five Families of New York City, resulting in the erroneous conclusion that organized crime has withered away. In fact, it has merely changed. The new version is more like the gig economy, with smaller, more flexible and fluid networks of cells, like the stories we hear about terrorist groups. Legitimate financial institutions are essential in the continued growth of the new organized crime because the amount of illicit financial flows that can be circulated under bulk cash transportation is dwarfed by the dollar capacity of electronic funds transfers. Therefore, the latest reiteration of organized crime presents a threat to business and the public in different and novel waysand business needs new information and tools to combat this danger. In this book, I will discuss how organized crime has changed, how it currently operates, its methods, and how the truth about it differs from what the public believes. I will also explore organized crimes connections with the Tech Giants, the Dark Web, and its effect on a variety of professions. In addition, the book features insights about the future of organized crime, resources for combating the threats of organized crime to business, and useful organized crime safety and prevention checklists.

Free Download Watergate: The Hidden History: Nixon, The Mafia, and The CIA By Lamar Waldron
2012 | 816 Pages | ISBN: 1582438137 | EPUB | 2 MB
While Richard Nixon’s culpability for Watergate has long been established—most recently by PBS in 2003—what’s truly remarkable that after almost forty years, conventional accounts of the scandal still don’t address Nixon’s motive. Why was President Nixon willing to risk his reelection with so many repeated burglaries at the Watergate—and other Washington offices—in just a few weeks? What motivated Nixon to jeopardize his presidency by ordering the wide range of criminal operations that resulted in Watergate? What was Nixon so desperate to get at the Watergate, and how does it explain the deeper context surrounding his crimes?For the first time, the groundbreaking investigative research in Watergate: The Hidden History provides documented answers to all of those questions. It adds crucial missing pieces to the Watergate story—information that President Nixon wanted, but couldn’t get, and that wasn’t available to the Senate Watergate Committee or to Woodward and Bernstein. This new information not only reveals remarkable insights into Nixon’s motivation for Watergate, but also answers the two most important remaining questions: What were the Watergate burglars after? And why was Nixon willing to risk his Presidency to get it?Watergate: The Hidden History reexamines the historical record, including new material only available in recent years. This includes thousands of recently declassified CIA and FBI files, newly released Nixon tapes, and exclusive interviews with those involved in the events surrounding Watergate—ranging from former Nixon officials to key aides for John and Robert Kennedy. This book also builds on decades of investigations by noted journalists and historians, as well as long-overlooked investigative articles from publications like Time magazine, the Los Angeles Times, and the New York Times.
