"Very well written, dispassionate history. The book came out in 1995, deserves an update, but can still serve as an excellent backgrounder for people interested in the story of Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, two anti-mafia judges killed within weeks of each other in the early 90s."
"Very sobering but worthwhile book if your interested in the mafia- a little dense as it gets into the political arena but the author does an amazing job shaping all the various and voluminous shards of information into a dramatic and coherent form (unlike this review...ha...). I've already put in a request to my library for other mafia books such as the more recent Gomorrah and the older Valachi Papers...can't wait to read them...also, am looking forward to seeing the doc Excellent Cadavers...again, if you're into knowing the behind the scenes details of the Sicilian mafia then this book is highly recommended."
"This is one of my favourite books. Fantastic narative story, rich with detail. The ending left me almost in tears. Great story about brave people making a stand against violence and crime and paying the ultimate price."
"The fascinating, compelling story of Giovanni Falcone's investigation of the Sicilian Mafia. One of the great crime stories ever written, and all true."
