The Outfit by Gus Russo
This is a very informative book, about 400 pages, I believe, of the Chicago Outfit history.This is pretty much everything you need to know about the outfit and its stretch to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Washinton. And of course, its untimely fall, head first into the ground. It is a stroy of a rebel among rebels, one of the most powerful criminal organizations and widely outcast by most of the underworld. The Outfit is your manual to the the Chicago Underworld.
"I never wanted this for you. I work my whole life--I don't apologize--to take care of my family, and I refused to be a fool, dancing on the string held by all those bigshots. I don't apologize--that's my life--but I thought that, that when it was your time, that you would be the one to hold the string. Senator Corleone; Governor Corleone."
-Don Vito Corleone to his son, Michael
