True Crime
To what extent was Rosario “Russell” Bufalino involved in
the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa in 1975? In the CIA’s
recruitment of gangsters to assassinate Fidel Castro? In
organizing the historic meeting of crime chieftains in 1957?
Even in the production of The Godfather
movie?
Secretive—even reclusive—Russell
Bufalino quietly built his organized crime empire in the
decades between Prohibition and the Carter presidency. His
reach extended far beyond the coal country of Scranton,
Pennsylvania, and quaint Amish farms near Lancaster.
Bufalino had a hand in global, national, and local politics
of the largest American cities, many of its major
industries, and controlled the powerful Teamsters Union. His
influence also reached the highest levels of Pennsylvania
government and halls of Congress, and his legacy left a
culture of corruption that continues to this day.
A uniquely American saga that spans six decades, The
Quiet Don follows Russell Bufalino’s remarkably quiet
ascent from Sicilian immigrant to mob soldier to a man
described by a United States Senate subcommittee in 1964 as
“one of the most ruthless and powerful leaders of the Mafia
in the United States.”
