Plus according to Joe and the rest of the original charter members, they considered the "mafia" operating in America by the time be wrote the book was dead, no longer existed. Just a group of gangs with no tradition or honor by the time he wrote the book, and the fact that he wrote the book and was not killed only proves his point. Anytime before 1970 or so Joe would have never wrote the book cause he knew he would be a dead duck. People can say what they want about Joe but he was a heavy hitter that was well respected across the globe for almost 50 years! We wouldnt be looking at headlines out of Canada every week if it wasnt for Joe either!
