Yes, I think "The Outfit" is the definitive book on the Chicago Outfit. Like any other oc book it has a few quirks and rumors and info from people looking to settle scores but all in all I thought it was quite well documented. It discusses the immediate post-Capone days up thru the early seventies.
It may be a little heavy on Murray Humphreys story for reasons discussed above but he was always a mobster that fascinated me anyway so I didn't mind. Good stuff.
"The Underboss" was pretty informative.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
