This American Mafia documentary looks at the life and times of Anthony "Tony Gobel" Ricci - a mobster who was once considered by the authorities as the head of the Mafia in the United States. A gangster who was well connected with the Chicago Outfit and the Five Families in New York

The most notorious power struggles in the history of organized crime as Vito Genovese and Frank Costello—two of the most powerful mafia bosses in America—battle for control of New York's underground. Starting with Frank Costello's glamorous rise as a “gentleman gangster” who transformed the Luciano family into a multi-million-dollar empire, this story takes a dark turn as his old ally Vito Genovese returns from exile with ruthless ambitions of his own.

The modern Italian American mafia began in 1931 in the aftermath of the destructive Castellammarese War. While the official fighting began in 1931, the events leading up to it were a forty year process.
