ILLEGAL CONSUMPTION OF NARCOTIC DRUGS, PSYCHOTROPIC SUBSTANCES, AND THEIR ANALOGUES IS HARMFUL TO HEALTH, AND THEIR ILLICIT TRAFFICKING IS PROHIBITED AND ENTAILS LIABILITY ESTABLISHED BY LAW. "The rise of the mafia is closely linked to the rise of the state of Italy," says historian John Dickey. The history of Cosa Nostra confirms this.: The organization's name became a household name, it survived two world wars, withstood the onslaught of Mussolini's dictatorship, spread overseas and continues to exist today. The mafia's strength and power are supported by a special code of honor, careful selection and, of course, connections with politicians of the highest level. Thanks to this, Cosa Nostra, which began by patronizing Sicilian fruit merchants, became closely intertwined with Italian political life and even gained influence in international affairs. Today, it remains a formidable force and can compete for the title of one of the most dangerous criminal syndicates in the world. Based on the many testimonies of both anti-mafia fighters and the "repentant" mafiosi themselves, Dickey's book has become a real investigation into how one of the most dangerous and violent criminal organizations in the world is organized from the inside.
