Top-notch street lit...one of the top urban fiction novels of the year." - Library Journal All he ever wanted to be was a Good Son ...

Lanza's Mob
Author: Christina Ann-Marie DiEdoardo
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN:
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
Presenting sociological as well as historical perspectives, this book supplies readers with a fascinating, unprecedented look at the most successful organized-crime family they've probably never heard of. From the 1920s until the early 21st century, one Sicilian mob family defied everyone from the California attorney general to J. Edgar Hoover to chart their own American Dream. Unlike their flashier rivals in New York and Chicago who met their end by the knife, the bullet, or a judge's gavel, this crime family prospered and grew alongside their adopted home of San Francisco. This book tells how they did it. Readers will learn how the Lanzas managed to retain control of their patch from the end of Prohibition through the Summer of Love and into the beginnings of the dot-com era, gaining insight into not only what the west-coast branch of the Mob did, but also why they did it. The documentation of how this mostly unknown crime syndicate formed, evolved, and eventually folded is set against the backdrop of the city of San Francisco transforming itself from a gritty port and manufacturing hub dominated by Italian- and Irish-Americans into the multicultural intellectual and services capital it is today.

Bringing Down the Mob
Author: Thomas Reppetto
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1429952539
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
The sequel to American Mafia chronicles the fifty-year attack by the federal government that virtually extinguished the nation’s most powerful crime syndicate. In the critically acclaimed American Mafia, Thomas Reppetto narrated the ferocious ascendancy of organized crime in America. In this fascinating sequel, he follows the mob from its peak into a shadowy period of decline as the government, no longer able to deny its existence, made subduing the Mafia a matter of national priority. Reppetto draws on a lifetime of field experience to tell the stories of the Mafia’s twentieth-century leadership, showing how men such as Sam Giancana and John Gotti became household names. Crusaders like Robert Kennedy led concerted—if sometimes sporadic—attacks against organized crime. As the battles between the feds and the Mafia moved from the streets to the courtrooms, Reppetto describes how it came to resemble a conflict between sovereign powers. In direct, shoot-from-the-hip prose, Reppetto chronicles a turning point in American Mafia history, and offers the provocative theory that, given the right formula of connections and shrewd business, a new generation of multinational criminals may be poised to take up the Mafia’s mantle. “Reppetto . . . is one of the rare commentators on the contemporary Mafia who has been able to view the Mob’s power grabs and struggles from the inside . . . [an] exhaustive and fascinating study.” —Booklist
