MAFIALAND

How the Mob Invaded Britain

BY DOUGLAS THOMPSON

This true-life story spanning much of the 20th century, tells of an elaborate Mafia plan to entrench itself in Europe, taking over its gambling, by using 1960s London as a combat area. London in the Swinging Sixties was a world of gambling, guns, and gangsters. The tale moves from London to New York and Las Vegas, down to Miami, into Havana, onto Bahamas, before an unexpected climax in London. This account of the Mafia’s Machiavellian global manipulation of governments and officials even unearths a London connection to the assassination of JFK. This chronicle not just includes big players of Mafia history controlled by gangster genius Meyer Lansky, it also considers the hitmen, the fixers, the hoodlums, and the wiseguys.
