Check out the Organized Crime - Real Life area. There's a whole thread about mob books. Lot's of good recommendations on there. If you're looking for basics, why not try The Idiot's Guide to the Mafia or Playboy's Illustrated History of Organized Crime? The former just came out with a second editon and the latter is out of print, but easily found on ebay.

Never heard of the book you asked about though.
