Just a quick comment on factual mob books. When it comes to credibility, no book is either black or white. They are all in a gray area of truth and imagination/wrong author´s conclusions. As bad as the Casso book seems to be in some regards, there are stuff in there that should be taken seriously and not ignored. Ignoring info just because it doesn´t sound right or clashes with facts we think we know, can be foolish. Also Capeci´s and Raab´s works are fallible. There are factual errors for example in the latest D´Arco book and although a hell of a read, Five Families contents errors too.

I completely agree with LittleMan when he says that he always try to mention his sources when posting, so people can take that into consideration. I think that´s the right approach and attitude to have when posting on here. (I mean the stuff that comes from books.)
