| dc.description.abstract | Three men rose to the top of New York City's Italian-American Mob, known as the Mafia, during the 1920s and 1930s. These men, immigrants from Italy, took advantage of the new bootlegging industry which grew out of Prohibition. This period also witnessed a rise in prostitution and murder. This senior project discusses this and the emergence of three powerful mob bosses: Salvatore Maranzano, Joe Masseria, and Lucky Luciano. They used violence and street warfare to fight their way to the top. | |
