Best modern book on The Mob - 01/10/22 01:08 AM

What’s the best book in the last 25 years on the mob, meaning anything after the late 80s and early 90s which would EXCLUDE Gravano,Leonetti and D’Arco?

I really liked Blood Oath by George Fresolone and George Anastasia.

Larry Mazza's book is a great account of the third the Colombo war.

Selwyn Raab's "The Five Families" is excellent.

Guys, I'm pretty sure he means books that deal with the last 25 years. I was confused myself at first, but I'd recommend Giovanni's Ring by Giovanni Ricci and Vinny Gorgeous by Anthony M. DeStefano.

Mafia Inc about the Rizzutos Andre cedilot and Andre Noel.
The sixth family by Lee Lamothe and Adrian Humphreys.
The wolfpack by Peter Edwards and Luis Horacio Najera.

All 3 are about OC in Canada and give great detail about inner workings.
Honestly there has not been alot of good books about current state of American Mafia since Selwyn raabs the five families.

Giovanni's ring was alright in the sense that it gives a good description of the mob today. There's not too much going on though.

Joaquin Garcia's book is also interesting. It's no Donnie Brasco though.
