About this product
Product Information
On 11 April 2006, a crack police team broke into a tiny shepherd's hut in the mountains above Corleone, and arrested Bernardo Provenzano, boss of the Sicilian mafia. Provenzano had been one of Italy's most wanted crime bosses for 43 years, but while sightings were reported all over Europe and as far as London, he had never gone far from home. After his arrest, one of his few requests was to marry his devoted long-time companion, Saveria, who had stood by him through the years on the run. An enigmatic figure known variously as the Tractor, the Accountant, Uncle Bernie and even the Axe Man, Provenzano is a master of reinvention. In the broken down shepherd's hut where he was arrested, there were silk shirts and cashmere sweaters in the wardrobe, two handguns, and a manual typewriter where he wrote his extraordinary letters, revealing the workings of a criminal mastermind. When he took over, Cosa Nostra was on its knees after a disastrous policy of all-out war on the state. Provenzano set about restoring the organisation's power, with a strategy that took the mafia underground and infiltrated business, law enforcement, and politics at the highest levels. This is the story of how he did it, told by the investigators who tracked him down, the spies in the system who worked for him, the police officers who arrested him, and the men closest to him inside Cosa Nostra.

The item was well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. The discs were described as being "Region 4", but turned out to be region free, so it was actually better than described. It took almost two months for the package to arrive (which is about twice as long as promised), but I think that's the fault of the postal service, not the seller. No problems with VAT or customs.

Its nearly impossible to tell how long anything will take to go through the post nowadays, especially when it is going overseas. Your purchase was dispatched the day after you bought it, im just sorry it took so long to get there.
