Confessions of a Yakuza is by Junichi Saga- based on a true story of one of the last troditional gang bosses in Japan- The yakuza still Exceist, but the book gives insight depth about one man. its a very interesting book, you should read it.

Are you kidding me? The Italian mob doesn't have CHEESE?!? Mozzarella, Parmasan, Sicilian, Ricotta, Bocchonchini? And fedoras are funny hats.
