Again, just my personal opinion


And you're oppinion is appreciated. smile But imo you should have read each of those books first before you can say which one you prefer.

However, at this great blog about the Chicago Outfit they don't recommend Russo's book and they explain why...

I have, thats why I said "neither" and would read "family affair" rather than those 2.
