Uncle Al Capone
Author: Deirdre Marie Capone
Publisher: Recaplodge LLC
ISBN: 0982845103
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
This is the revised edition, March 2015. The untold story from inside his family. Dramatic, unyielding, and provocative, Uncle Al Capone by Deirdre Marie Capone, Al Capone's grandniece, is a fascinating memoir and engaging biography. This moving, highly readable portrait of the Capone family and its mob trade examines what it has meant to survive the storied legacy of the family's forbearers. As Capone traces the arc of regret and what fuels the Capone myth, she finds redemption and a way to coexist with her legacy. In seventeen chapters with titles like "The Making of the Mafioso," "Trading the Chicago Outfit for the Chicago Cubs," and "The Saint Valentine's Day Truth," Capone outlines organized crime in Chicago and offers vignettes of American history during the early and mid-twentieth century. Using years of research and exhaustive interviews with her aunts, uncles, and cousins, she weaves an engaging anecdotal narrative of what it meant to be a Capone, what it meant to lose her father to suicide, and what it meant to have a mother who lived in constant fear. She offers compelling evidence that Al Capone was specifically targeted for prosecution by law enforcement agencies assisted by the media, which made gross exaggerations of her uncle's exploits and fueled a phenomenon of half-truths and utter falsehoods. From the family's roots in Angri, Italy to the author's ongoing investigations today, this debut offers a comprehensive and moving portrait of an iconic American family and one woman's efforts to make peace with the past.

Enjoy this steamy possessive, dark italian mafia billionaire romance.... Joaquin Fuertes Book 1 Sofia is a world-famous actress and singer on Broadway. Being on the stage has been a lifelong dream. Living in New York, her life is a non-stop roller coaster of parties, magazine shoots, and more. Once her friendship with Sabrina Washington became public, any and everything was put on notice. Joaquin is a quiet deadly force. He’s known in the illegal business as Ghost. Someone that shows up only when the client needs to disappear. The second he bumps into Sofia after a meeting at the restaurant, her beauty causes his heart to beat faster. He reminds himself to not fall in love, only continue working in the shadows to keep his clients’ businesses out of the spotlight. Joaquin Fuertes Book 2 I never expected things would get this out of control. My sins have come back to haunt me and affect everyone I love. I forced my way into her life and turned things upside down. Not only am I dealing with snakes in business, but her family, and friends think we shouldn’t be together. The only problem is that I’ll never let her go. Joaquin Fuertes Book 3 Joaquin I'd prepared myself to slow down and be a husband and father to my children now that our lives had blown up in public. Sofia was still working and traveling nonstop as an actress and singer. I'd tried not to let my frustrations show and spill over into my family or business, but deep down, I could feel her pulling away more and more.

Book Description
Three exposés of corruption—behind the NFL, the Teamsters and Jimmy Hoffa, and Ronald Reagan—from an investigative reporter who “never relents” (The Washington Post). Interference: A shocking exposé of widespread corruption and mob influence throughout the National Football League—on the field, in the owners’ boxes, and in the corporate suites. “[A] true and terrifying picture of a business whose movers and shakers seem to have more connections to gambling and the mob than to touchdowns and Super Bowls.” —Keith Olbermann The Hoffa Wars: The definitive portrait of the powerful, corruption-ridden Teamsters union and its legendary president, Jimmy Hoffa—organizer, gangster, convict, and conspirator—whose disappearance in 1975 remains one of the great unsolved mysteries. “Mr. Moldea’s view of [the Hoffa] wars, which reached its greatest intensity when Robert Kennedy was Attorney General, may explain not only Mr. Hoffa’s disappearance, but the assassination of John Kennedy as well.” —The Wall Street Journal Dark Victory: A “smoldering indictment” of the corrupt influences that rescued Ronald Reagan’s acting career, made him millions (resulting in a federal grand jury hearing), backed his political career, and shaped his presidency (Library Journal). “[Moldea] has, through sheer tenacity, amassed an avalanche of ominous and unnerving facts. [Dark Victory is] a book about power, ego, and the American way.” —Los Angeles Times
