Mussolini’s Hat - How the Mob Came to America

25 minutes

This week’s all about presidents, dictators, more mobsters, islands and how the theft of a hat was taken just a little too seriously. Last fortnight we discussed the Black Hand, this episode we follow up and discuss why the Mob finally came to America.

Sources this week include: Five Families by Selwyn Raab

And The Black Hand by Stephan Talty

(As well as several articles I’ll link to later)

The blog post of the episode is here.
