I read a couple chapters and leave 30bucks is steep. bot the aurthor got vic orean's kids giving there take on every little thing scarpa did in the Colombo war. he got larry mazza this guy did his work he got a lot of goons giving there 2 cents. researched as good as rabb's 5 families. sessa was a pawn scarpa a genius. hope no one tkes the last copy out the store, he looks at the Colombo war from every angle.greg jr. the orenas,sessa,casso. caaso told oreana when he became boss scarpa's a informer the cops told him. this is a great book.
If you mean the Peter Lance book, I saw it in Barnes and Nobles, read some, it was boring. I guess we have different tastes if you find it great, but I just put it back on shelf after reading a few chapters. He just takes a lot of work done by other people, primarily the Angela Clemente mentioned by Hairy Knuckles, and adds some of his own thoughts and comment to them. Sandra Harmon's book on Scarpa Jr. called Mafia Son was way better.
