What books are on the horizon?

I know about the Natale book that is coming out in 2017.

Does anyone know of any other high profile books that may be coming out in the near future?

Man oh man do I wish Big Joey was able to pen one.

For some reason i dont thing vitale or massino will ever do one. They probaly both lied to the feds and would get in trouble. I think after the sammy bull screw up they tell them do a book and will put you back. I thought salemmi in boston was gonna write his story after all the bulger shit but now hes looking at dying in jail or will. How bout the gay gambino guy from a few years back was that total bullshit. He said he shot some bagel maker for one of the gottis then he flipped when he got charged. This guy joey damico from the bonannos probaly has a million storys him killing his unlce tony mirra getting made by galante at 22. But i think he wants to be quiet probaly regrets ever snitching but didnt want to do life. I bought jr gottis book it was a bunch of shit self serving just like bill bonanno did his dad.

Guess the guy joe damico had gotti sr at his wedding in 8889 thats got be a chapter. But he rolled over 10 years ago probaly had ton of money in a nest dont want to fuck it up.

According to this article Scott Burnstein interviewed Tony Zerilli and is writing a book about him, but that was in 2014

The organized crime group that dominates much of the socioeconomic life of contemporary Naples, the Camorra, is organized by kin and geography, and it is notoriously the most violent, fractious, and disorganized mafia in Italy. The Camorra controls local extortion rackets, the drug and counterfeit trades, and other legal and illicit activities as well as wielding substantial political influence throughout Naples and its environs. Felia Allum has been researching the Camorra for twenty years, and in The Invisible Camorra she reveals a surprising alteration in Camorra behavior when operatives live outside the Neapolitan base. When gang members move away from Naples, having been forced out by intense policing and gang competition, they are attracted by business opportunities that, on the whole, fit in with their usual activities. When they move to other parts of Western Europe and are therefore no longer criminals simply by virtue of "mafia association" as they are in Italy, they become largely invisible. Gang members avoid the spectacular deployment of violence, they merge quietly into local life, they keep themselves to themselves, and, when necessary, use legitimate local actors such as lawyers and accountants to further their economic well-being.

Allum has constructed a meticulous description and analysis of Camorra activities abroad. To build accounts of the Camorra in Germany and the Netherlands, France, Spain, and the United Kingdom, she has interviewed investigating magistrates, police officers, and confessed criminals; done substantial mining of Italian and European police data; and made extensive use of judicial investigations, court records and transcripts as well as of journalistic accounts. The result is the first systematic analysis of the overseas activities of this major criminal organization.

Assuming I finish the manuscript in time, my history of the mob in New Jersey should be out in late 2017.

"Organized Crime in Miami" looks good.

Once you get into Trafficante and these other guys in the south like Marcello and Civello, you start getting into JFK, Castro, Cuba, Jack Ruby, CIA operations, Vegas, hookers, and the roots of neon lit, Miami Vice culture as we know it. Good stuff.

Great news Scott, in the mean time I will finally read the silent don.

Yes, but from the cover it seems it will be another one of the "Images of America" series, and those are mostly big collections of photos with little text.
There is a 2009 book "Gangsters of Miami" by Ron Chepesiuk though, and also I read somewhere that there is going to be a book about the "Corporation" syndicate headed by Jose Miguel Battle (based in Cuba, but present in Miami also). The author is T.J.English, I think he wrote a book about the Westies also.

Im very surprised chris paciello hasnt written a book which means he is probably making lots of money and doesnt need too.I think one day we will get a mikey scars book and possibly one of the persico kids writing a book about their dad like gigante and gottis children have done

What is it going to focus on and consist of? Is it a book on the decavs? Or about any family with crews who operated in NJ?

I hope the latter, that would be awesome..

Please do that book on jersey right. Pernas , taccettas, bloomfield ave , Gatto's , etc... We know about Richie the boot... Not being a dick. As a jersey guy that's what I grew up around.

Second that Bobby.....id love to see more modern day shit come out

The big heist will be good that guy anthony d a real fact checker beat writer. I wonder if he wrote the book with the guy gaspar who wore the wire. Probaly not cause the guy hasnt even been sentenced i think or hes fresh into the wpp and hasnt gotten caught and kicked out yet. Hks kid in a made guy. The bonannos have got a few sons of guys who flipped. Lino coppa and valente. If im boss im keeping them all in the same crew.

I send you a PM.

I think what BobbyPazzo is saying is that he doesnt want to read a book about guys who would be 150 years old if they were still living.

So did a little google the gay gambino testified at jr gottis trial he was inducted in 2002 was close to the gotti family shot the bagel guy in 2003 for the gottis. He has a huge earner secretly gay. He doesnt flip till 2009so hes on the street probaly getting lot of money and respect for being a shooter in queens. Just seems like a book the powers that be would give him 250k up front for. Pink mafia would make it a movie in a second. Kinda interesting not many articles about the guy i guess at his sentencing thw feds and judge said it was unbelievable and scrubbed it from dockets kept it super secret. The guy has 2sons. He said some shit like his partner knows nothing and is scared for his life. If this guy planned all this shit as a kaiser soze lie hes genius. Interesting to say the least. That book would have been a best seller. Be a hell of alot diff from all the rat tough guy books like alites. This guy was with the gottis.

Although much has been written about Al Capone, there has not been--until now--a complete history of organized crime in Chicago during Prohibition. This exhaustively researched book covers the entire period from 1920 to 1933. Author John J. Binder, a recognized authority on the history of organized crime in Chicago, discusses all the important bootlegging gangs in the city and the suburbs and also examines the other major rackets, such as prostitution, gambling, labor and business racketeering, and narcotics.

A major focus is how the Capone gang -- one of twelve major bootlegging mobs in Chicago at the start of Prohibition--gained a virtual monopoly over organized crime in northern Illinois and beyond. Binder also describes the fight by federal and local authorities, as well as citizens' groups, against organized crime. In the process, he refutes numerous myths and misconceptions related to the Capone gang, other criminal groups, the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, and gangland killings.

What emerges is a big picture of how Chicago's underworld evolved during this period. This broad perspective goes well beyond Capone and specific acts of violence and brings to light what was happening elsewhere in Chicagoland and after Capone went to jail.

Based on 25 years of research and using many previously unexplored sources, this fascinating account of a bloody and colorful era in Chicago history will become the definitive work on the subject.

Did u guys happen to read Larry McShanes book on Chin Gigante? I read it and it was decent but was it just me or did you hooe it had more info about Gigante as a capo and then how he got to be the most powerful boss in America? Idk i know his life was shrouded in secrecy but i was hoping for more oc and less about his crazy act..just my 2 cents, curious about everyone's thoughts

"The Mafia's President: Nixon and the Mob", by Don Fulsom

To be released in November.

https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Mafia_s_President.html?id=pYfxnAAACAAJ

I didn't like it. I was hoping to learn more about his early years and entry into the mafia, like when he was made, whose crew he was on etc....

Thanks for letting us know about that one Oaks. Never heard much about Nixon and the mob. He did pardon Genovese captain Angelo DeCarlo, but that seemed legitimate.

Nixon exploited the rift between the Teamsters and the Democratic Party, which started with Robert Kennedy's investigations into Jimmy Hoffa. Nixon regularly golfed with teamster consultant/Chicago Outfit associate Allen Dorfman. In the movie Casino, when DeNiro says of Andy Stone (Alan King) "He even played golf with the president", this is what it was based on. Andy Stone was based on Dorfman.
