Some time ago, I read a book called "The Five Families".  If you do not know, the book gives a detailed history of the Mafia in New York City.  I got interested in this because of things happening in my family.    Here's what I did not expect.  In this video I will be sharing how this thick volume of a book helped in understanding my own father. More precisely, I am talking about the Italian American community in the Newark, NJ area.
