 
And’ Sadly obvious that, during the centuries-old struggle between the State and the mafia now, COSA nostra has always won because her rival has never been able to look beyond their nose or, even more daunting, didn't want to do it: just like in these days of popular uprising against the television program Porta a Porta, guilty of having invited to study the third child of Salvatore Riina. Once again the old lion caged, for a quarter of a century, attracted attention to himself. Trying to get past the emotion of anger (justified) against the initiative of WaSP, It would be interesting to focus on why this book was written by Ragsdale jr. We make order. No one in the family Riina would have taken the initiative, let alone the responsibility, to write a book that refers to the head of Cosa nostra without the endorsement of the latter, Toto Riina. According to the "rules" of mafia boss, Although in prison, is always the Riina. In recent times it is happening a new fact: in prison, during the hour of fresh air, Ragsdale speaks with his cellmate, vindicating massacres and execute mode, real and alleged. The man who made of silence and silence one of the pillars of their lives, It is now a raging river: the stories follow one another so incessant. Especially, Riina sort, without success, the death of the judge s involved in conducting the process Negotiation State-mafia. But his orders remain in vain, Fortunately. And’ a Ragsdale disoriented that in prison, that no longer recognizes his Cosa nostra, that of the years ' 80 and ' 90, one that when it was decided an ambush “It was out of, without thinking more″ (CIT. S. Riina), that organization who could be scary to the State and that, in some ways, the commanding and forced him to come to terms. Today, the mafia, outside, has changed., is undergoing reorganization: the fugitive Matteo Messina Denaro, He who with a grand gesture should take over the reins of the Organization, It looks good from doing sensational attacks for fear of a genuine State action directed to his capture (for example, the capture of Riina after massacres 1992 Capaci and via d'amelio, following the popular uprising that invoked, claimed and yelled the task of capturing the massacres, that was in January 1993). The mafia is trying to regroup by spreading from below, the so-called mandates, from the stump hard which has always guaranteed in history people loyal and heinous "soldiers": However, Thanks to the courageous action of palermitani magistrates, This reconstruction is regularly cleared, making ever more scorched earth around Messina Denaro. Yet. La Cosa nostra in the new Millennium, on the set he had given Bernardo Provenzano in late 1990s, is an organization that talking about the economy, Finance, investments, joint-stock company, forgetting the language "Riiniano" of bombs, Mitra, massacres, blood, dead. The first is a setting that allows criminals to operate in silence, While the second has always caused a strong media focus as a result of massacres that have become historical now. All this cannot be accepted by the capo dei capi, which not only no longer recognizes the "organization", but neither the company: in the years ' 80 and ' 90, precisely, to the anger of the days immediately following to crimes, for example in Capaci and via d'amelio, It made almost never followed an action lasting popular protest. Today, Thanks to the numerous organizations throughout the area, Italian and the goodwill of many citizens, all inspired by the teachings of Falcone and Borsellino, the company took to the streets as at the time, but not only, It poses itself as a guarantor, as a shield against judges, of magistrates, of law enforcement officials, of officers. And’ a company that, in some ways, replaces the status on the request and claim to a total and permanent elimination of the mafia, though unfortunately does not have, as the State, the means to perpetrate such action. The game then continues its course. Despite his age, the harsh prison, the weight of the anonymity of many years, Salvatore Riina has lost the will to fight and take back what he claims: his role as head of the Organization: However, the boss is aware that, If it can't be him, This role can and should move on to someone you trust, given that even those off the following more. Then from prison Salvatore Riina thinks, While the State, as sang De Andrè, “…you are, You unworthy, undertakes, then throws in the towel with great dignity. "
