Mafia the history of the mob in America. [Volume] 1, The prohibition years ; Birth of the American Mafia
This video takes a sobering look at how the 18th Amendment (outlawing the sale of alcohol in 1919) gave rise to the Jewish and Irish mafias - the ethnic gangs that first cornered the lucrative bootlegging market. It's followed by "Birth of the American Mafia," highlighting the arrival of the Italians from Sicily, with Al Capone and Lucky Luciano.
