BANANA'S WAR

BANANA'S WAR

From 1964 to about 1969, the last major war was fought in which a major Mafia crime family attempted to gain a position of supremacy over other organized crime families in America. If the plan had been successful, the attackers could have truly changed the course of the criminal world as Lucky Luciano had done. This new conflict of the 1960s was initiated by an elderly boss, namely, Joseph Bonanno, head of the relatively small but efficient New York Mafia family of the same name, also known by the nickname "Bananas", hence the name of the Mafia conflict, namely BANANA’S WAR.
