My guest this week is bestselling author Louis Ferrante. He was an associate in the Gambino crime family before going to prison, where he studied history and began writing books. He joins us to talk about the origins of the Sicilian Mafia and how they followed Italian immigrants to the United States, initially establishing themselves in crime-ridden New Orleans alongside a corrupt police force. His new book is called "Borgata: Rise of Empire: A History of the American Mafia", the first volume of his Mafia trilogy.
