The sharp and dangerous Grand Prix Attack is one of White's most aggressive ways of countering the Sicilian Defence. It leads to very complicated play right from the first moves and contains plenty of pitfalls for the unwary Black player. Here James Plaskett takes a new look at this dangerous opening. Whether you play the Sicilian as Black, or need an antidote for White, this book is an essential addition to your armory.
"Cosa Nostra" is the compelling story of the Sicilian mafia, the world's most famous, most secretive and most misunderstood criminal fraternity. The mafia has been given many names since it was founded one hundred and forty years ago: the Sect, the Brotherhood, the Honoured Society, and now Cosa Nostra. Yet as times have changed, the mafia's subtle and bloody methods have remained the same.
Sequel to "The Godfather", this describes the ending of Michael
Corleone's exile in Sicily, his search for Salvatore Giuliano and his
troubles, as he confronts brutal and unfamiliar treacheries in the
deceitful society within which he moves.
After Mario Puzo wrote
his internationally acclaimed The Godfather, he has often been imitated
but never equaled. Puzo's classic novel, The Sicilian, stands as a
cornerstone of his work--a lushly romantic, unforgettable tale of
bloodshed, justice, and treachery. . . .
The year is 1950.
Michael Corleone is nearing the end of his exile in Sicily. The
Godfather has commanded Michael to bring a young Sicilian bandit named
Salvatore Guiliano back with him to America. But Guiliano is a man
entwined in a bloody web of violence and vendettas. In Sicily, Guiliano
is a modern day Robin Hood who has defied corruption--and defied the
Cosa Nostra. Now, in the land of mist-shrouded mountains and ancient
ruins, Michael Corleone's fate is entwined with the dangerous legend of
Salvatore Guiliano: warrior, lover, and the ultimate Siciliano.
