Frattiano's book is somewhat interesting. A lot of info and great stories about a Los Angeles that's long, long gone. He's a little full of himself. He makes the mistake of thinking the reader might care about him personally. I think most people picked up this book because "mafia in LA? Awesome!".
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
