\"\"The HISTORY Channel\u00ae greenlights “Five Families<\/em><\/strong>,” a new nonfiction series executive produced by Ray Liotta and Propagate about the dramatic rise and fall of the New York’s mafia’s five families – Genovese, Gambino, Bonnano, Colombo, and Lucchese. For decades these five families ruled New York and built the American Mafia into an underworld empire. The series will follow the Mob from its explosive and violent growth in Prohibition, its golden age of domination in the 1970s and 1980s, up through its heated war with law enforcement – a feud they ultimately lost.<\/p>\n

The eight part, one-hour series is based on Selwyn Raab’s New York Times best-selling book Five Families: The Rise, Decline, and Resurgence of America’s Most Powerful Mafia Empires<\/a>.<\/p>
