books about the mafia

Hello, i first checked if these books were reviewed in the topic. But i couldnt find anything about it so i made a new topic. I plan to buy the following books:
Underboss by Peter Maas
Gotti by Gene Mustain & Jerry Capeci
The Butcher Philip Carlo

are these books worht reading? i mean its wonderful to get them for my personal library but are there any new stuff in them. The Butcher may be a different book, but i am more concerned about the first 2 books. But i dont like Sammy, so i am not sure to buy and read it.

I would guess all three books have been reviewed around here at some point.
I reviewed the Carlo book here

I've read all three and the Mustain-Capeci book is the best.

Check out the "Mafia Books" in the Real Life forum. It is a "thumb-tacked" thread (meaning it is on the top of the forum's list). All these books have been reviewed.

i know that topic, i also looked in it but i could not find the 2 other books, i did find the butchet. ill look into it again, thanks.

Virtually every mob book ever written comes from the point of view of at least one informant. So if you don't want to read Sammy's book for that reason, you're not likely to find one that agrees with you.

well i would like to read it, to see it from his side. And maybe learn something new, but most books that write about the mafia have the same information.

oh boy, i just recieved blood and honor, and the last gangster. i havent read them yet, but looked at the pictures. oh my god both are wonderfull books, not hard to read.
