Mobfather by George Anastasia, about Tommy Del's wife and kids. Even after reading plenty about the Scarfo era, this one still provided some interesting information I hadn't heard before. It was also good to hear from the perspective of a wiseguy's family.
Plus it takes a stance against the deals the government cuts with these guys.Also have been reading Joe Valachi's The Real Thing. So many interesting little bits of information.

You can't bring down the hierarchies of criminal organization without informants.
It's intrinsic and integral.
