His latest and history at its very best by the top chronicler of Italy, the Mediterranean and Byzantium. From the Ancient Greeks to Cosa Nostra, why Sicily's sad fate through the ages is to be poor, exploited and backward. A virtual gallop through 2,500 years, missing nothing relevant, filled with anecdotes, written with genuine love and appreciation, with brio and sympathy, a wonderful, entertaining and informative read.
