    About this ebook

    This is a book that explains politics in terms of the classic Godfather movie series. Do you want to know how the five families and Corleones meeting is similar to the big-power politics of the last 400 years? Or how Pete Clemenza is a scholar of Machiavelli? Ever heard of political arcana, which have their analogues in The Godfather? Many more metaphors are explored in a book where the underworld and government meet.
