New Book 'Ghosts of Sicily' Explores U.S. Military's WWII Collaboration with the Mafia
The book 'Ghosts of Sicily' by Mark Harmon and Leon Carroll Jr. reveals a lesser-known aspect of World War II history, detailing how the U.S. military collaborated with the Mafia to combat Nazi forces. This historical account, which might seem fictional, is based on real events where the U.S. government enlisted the help of organized crime figures to aid in military operations against the Nazis. The authors, including 'NCIS' star Mark Harmon and retired NCIS Special Agent Leon Carroll Jr., aim to shed light on this unconventional alliance and its impact on the war effort. The book provides insights into the strategic decisions made during the war and the complex relationships between the military and organized crime.
