Have you read Mafia Dynasty by John Davies. This book is all about the Gambino family. I read this book a while ago but can't recall anything about what you are asking.


The Mafia Is Not Primarily An Organisation Of Murderers.
First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves.
It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.

Between The Law And The Mafia, The Law Is Not The Most To Be Feared

"What if the Mafia were not an organization but a widespread Sicilian attitude of hostility towards the law?"

I just started reading The President Street Boys, its the Profaci & Gallo war though.

Started off pretty good, already read 25% in one reading so it held my attention with details of a neighborhood I was familiar with.

not the wars you mentioned but deal with the devil goes into very great detail on the persico-orena colombo war of the early 90's.

definitely do. it's the story of greg scarpa, the colombo capo who was an informant for 30 years and had his fbi handler helping him kill people. it can be a tough read at time because it is extremely thorough with documentation which can slow the pace of the book, but the level of detail and info presented is incredible. i would definitely call it required reading for anyone who's very interested in the american mafia.
