Five Families has plenty of spelling errors. Minor ones, but spelling error's nonetheless. He also pushes the theory that Vito Genovese had Peter LaTempa killed, and inaccurately states that LaTempa had enough poison in his system to kill 8 horses. Which is factually incorrect. LaTempa's autopsy report stated that his stomach contents were simply barbiturates, barbiturates that LaTempa had been prescribed for his stomach issue, and that the amount of them in his system at the time of his death wasn't anything abnormal.
Yes, LaTempa´s death was most likely a result of suicide. Just like ScottD mentioned above, new information is always coming out and rebukes earlier information we thought was correct. It´s not an easy task for an author to pin down a 100 percent accurate mob book, if the author has access to only limited information.
Five Familes is an excellent book overall but there are inaccurracies in it too, just like any other mob book, especially the parts where the book deals with the early stuff.
