Also, on Ganglandnews.com, there is a new book on the Mafia summit in Apalachin. Sure looks interesting.
It surely does! But there is nothing in the book (to my knowledge, haven´t read it yet) that brings anything new to the table. In fact, it only reinforces the earlier misconceptions LE had (and still have, I guess) about the summit.
- The Apalachin meeting was NOT a Commission meeting.
- The decision of Lombardozzi´s fate was NOT that a big agenda enough to call in a meeting of that stature (like the author claims.)
- Vito Genovese was NOT trying to take over the Mafia and assign the title "boss of bosses" to him. (Like the author also claims.)
- The meeting was partly used to declare a national ban on drug dealing. A ban that in reality didn´t work.
- It was partly used to explain all the violence occurring in New York the last year or so and was used to reach a consensus of maintaing peace.
