I read Mario Puzo's The Sicilian. Does that count? It's sort of a work of fiction, but some parts are true. It was because of that book that I got interested in this in the first place.
No not the mafia. For the Sicilians he was a freedom fighter for independent Sicily, The Italian government considered him a bandit. Italy is just another in a long line of occupiers, Italy is not forever. The Movement For Independent Sicily was started in 1943. In 2006 it is now recognized as a legitamate political movement and party. Suggested reading: the book by Guilano's sister, Marianna Guilanao - The True Story Of Salvatore Guilano. Also read on him on wikipedia page under his name.
Because the cops lied. They never killed him near Trapani, he was set up by his friend Gaspar Piccotti near Monreale. But he's compaing some mafia thug to a freedom fighter so he's full of shit too.
Best book I ever read. Giuliano is a legend.

Was Guiliano in the mafia? Wasn't he a bandit?
