"The publication itself 'Ndrangheta: The Glocal Dimensions of the Most Powerful Italian Mafia is an instance of the emerging trend towards shorter, sharply focused monographs. One must not be deceived, however, by the short length of the book: it is by no means a light read. ... The work is - in its simplicity - intelligently written. ... we unreservedly recommend it to both expert and lay readers ... ." (Georgios Papanicolaou and Georgios A. Antonopoulos, The Canadian Criminal Justice Association, ccja-acjp.ca, January, 2017)

"Refreshingly well written and insightful in their approach, both as revealing histories and as analyses of how and why Italian organized crime has developed and changed over time and across locations. ... 'Ndrangheta, by developing new evidence and fresh arguments, are effective guides for taking another look at a distinctive chapter of Italian andItalian American history and for understanding the persistence of organized criminal networks around the world." (Jay S. Albanese, Italian American Review, Vol. 7 (2), 2017)
