From the back cover of the book:

There is no such animal as the Mafia! The Mafia is a vicious scheme purposely designed by Italian haters and constantly being foisted upon an unsuspecting American public to prevent the Italian-American minority from becoming a political factor thereby depriving them of their civil rights. This venomous anti-Italian Mafia propaganda shamefully blemishes this great nation of ours whose Declaration of Independence and Constitution eloquently speak of the equality of man to his fellow man.
