It is fairly entertaining but I don't believe barely anything in that book; if you think people on this forum overestimate the reach of the Outfit, they are coldly objective compared to that book.

It basically says the Outfit was behind every major event of the 20th century, including the Vietnam war and a bunch of other similiarly laughable hoo-
However, there were probably a few facts in there somewhere... sun/dog's a**, etc.


John - I started to buy this book until I read what you said in an earlier post. You folks should check the reviews before you purchase . I decided not to buy the book. I have viewed some of the YouTube videos, but that's all.


If you read it, just read it for entertainment value, knowing that it's probably at least half made up.

Unfortunately Russo used it as a source, which also makes me question some of his own claims.

But, a lot of this stuff, I guess we'll never know the definitive truth.
