Bernstein (American studies, San Jose State U.) has done a terrific job of recreating in detail the events and instigators of a near-paranoid public attention to the Italian Mafia during the Cold War era. Among the topics are the televised hearings of Estes Kefauver's crime committee, the formation of local crime committees, the role of J. Edgar Hoover and others in fostering an atmosphere of ethnic discrimination and suspicion, the trials of Lucky Luciano, and the role of television shows like The Untouchables and Dragnet to reaffirm notions of civic obligations to fight crime.
