I wouldnt say Al DeMeo or his book suck.
Al's book is one of the best I've ever read.
It shows the real side of having a gangster for a father - its not as cool as you would think.
Doms military background is the subject of dispute but as someone said his records were locked when he entered witness protection (although he has long since left the program).
Nino Gaggi used Dom. Dom was a handy gopher and it was better for the cops to clock Dom meeting with the Gemini crew than Nino himself. I alos would love to hear joey or Anthony talk but it'll never happen.
