Welcome Chopper. A great place to start would be with FIVE FAMILIES by Selwyn Raab. It's just about the most comprehensive and accurate book ever written about the New York mob and it recently became available in paperback.

We had a separate thread set up about two years ago that lists many good books and recommendations. Click on the link (below) to see that discussion thread:
