Garcia was updating his superiors as to who were the newly made guys/capos.


Just picked this up at the library, first mob book ive read, actually pretty enjoyable. Garcia sounds a little full of himself, but i still am enjoying it. Is the Sammy Gravano book any good? Is there a good one on Massino?


The Gravano book is real good, the best book on Massino is King of the Godfathers which is also a great read IMO.


I read King of the Godfathers and it is excellent, however I also just read THe last Godfather- rise and fall of Joe Massino by Simon Crittle. There is a little duplication, but Crittle's book adds a lot of detail and new information and is the perfect supplement to "King"
