Failed to engage me, I can't recommend this book and I won't explore more of Talty's work.

The writing style is disjointed, with disconnected anecdotes lacking chronological order, making it hard to get engaged. It also contained repetitive information. Although there were brief improvements during the sections in Italy, they didn't last.

I was disappointed that the author revealed Petrosino's funeral photos before addressing his death in the story.

A more fitting title for the book could have been 'Petrosino’, as the majority of the content focuses on him, and not as I expected, on the organization behind ‘The Black Hand’.

Nonetheless, the book sheds light on the challenges of garnering support to combat 'The Black Hand,' offering universal insights applicable to today's society. It highlights the disconnect in addressing issues within marginalized populations and underscores the disparities between the rich and the poor when pursuing justice.
