Salvatore Lupos The Two Mafias is an important contribution to an emerging body of literature that seeks to provide a sober, comprehensive analysis of the transatlantic ramifications of the Sicilian Mafia. & The Two Mafias is a meticulous analysis of the historical record on the relationship between American and Sicilian mafiosi, and it is a profound critique of the academic debate of the past seven decades on the Mafia in the United States. (Klaus von Lampe, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books, clcjbooks.rutgers.edu, July, 2017)

(Jay S. Albanese, Italian American Review, Vol. 7 (2), 2017)
