Capeci said it's the best book he's ever read about the early years of the mob. Sounds like pretty high praise to me.
Yeah, either its really good or the publisher paid Capeci good money to use his name along with that quote.
Not so interested in the well told Luciano creating modern day Cosa Nostra story, but very much interested in the 40s-50s heyday aspect of the book.
Just started it. Seems very academic. There are 100 pages of notes/annotations in the back.
But it says that it tells the story of the low level soldiers which could be great. And says it will give new facts about the mob's role in the drug trade and other topics. I hope I can get through it.
