@ScottD: i've recently read "Silent Don", great book overall! There are rumors that ragano was much more involved in criminal activity with trafficante as he'd ever admitted, what are you thinking on this matter? I haven't read his "mob lawyer" book yet, but i dont think there is sth. in i dont know yet.
Do you have any new books coming out this year?
ive read raganos book "mob lawyer" the most astonishing thng about this book is raganos take on the jfk murder. ragano says trafficante told him in a deathbed confession that trafficante and carlos narcello conspired to murder the president.
also ragano says jimmy hoffa told him to ask Marcello and trafficante to arrange the killing of kennedy.
interesting read, later ragano got on the wrong side of trafficante, and his wife despised him.[ trafficante]
