- Investigative journalist Selwyn Raab divulges the details of the ubiquitous mafia presence in New York City over the past fifty years. Raab describes the infiltration of this 'invisible government' into all areas of life. The corruption of school construction, garbage collection, and apparel industries are just some of the topics mentioned when he and Doug Muzzio discuss Raab's book "Five Families: The Rise, Decline, and Resurgence of Americas most powerful Empires." The Mafioso expert gives the shocking answers to your questions. Why did lawmakers shy away from mobster cases? Where was the President hiding? What did the authorities have to say about it? Is the mafia really under control? And Raab shares his thoughts on the image of modern fictional gangsters like Tony Soprano. (Taped 6/20/2006)

I've been researching the American mafia for over a decade and this book by Mr. Raab is simply the best book on the subject I've ever read..
Poor Mr Raab has to say multiple times “the point was” after the interviewer interrupts him.
Let Mr Raab talk!
I wish the interviewer would stop butting in. Let Selwyn talk, he's much more interesting.
Got to love it when Raab is the guest on any show.
Selwyn Raab's book is one of my most prized possessions. Read it twice in a month
I'm SCREAMING in frustration at this host. He needs to shut up, shut up, SHUT the hell UP!!! My God!!!!
Excellent book. Great detail, a definite buy for Mafia buffs.
Annoying host...
Mr. Raab - highly intelligent - very knowledgeable and well traveled.
Commentator should shut up and he might learn something. He could not be more annoying.
Just finished this book. Fantastic read. Well written, incredibly thorough, and entertaining. Having finished it, I feel I know the entire history of the mafia now. It's a must read if you're interested in the Mafia and the five families.
Let the guy talk please!!!!!!
This is valuable stuff. Thank you you uploading this.
