This exploration of the full diversity of the Italian Antimafia draws on primary sources and interviews to provide a complete analysis of social, political and grassroots efforts since 1922. The murders of judges Falcone and Borsellino in 1992 caused an institutional crisis in Italy, aggravated by evidence of rampant corruption in political and business life. Since then, exceptional law enforcement successes have been undermined by inadequate efforts to address the underlying social and economic conditions that facilitate the expansion of the Mafia. This study looks at Antimafia initiatives within the context of international initiatives against organized crime.
Industry Reviews

'...the first complete analysis of the successes and failures of the Italian Antimafia.' - Crime and Justice International

'...a hallmark since it uses primary sources, the latest data and interviews with senior judges, politicians, police officers and relatives of mafia victims, including the courageous women of the grassroots antimafia movement.' - Don DeNevi, Palo Alto Daily News

'Jamieson's book is the best available general account of the contemporary Mafia and Italian organized crime; it is well argued and documented, and terrifying by implication...together with Alexander Stille's Excellent Cadavers and Patrick McCarthy's Crisis of the Italian State, it is one of the best recent books on contemporary Italy.' - Robert Fox, Times Literary Supplement
