Wow...I could not disagree with you more. I think Blood and Honor, Goodfellas Tapes. And The Last Gangster don't do Skinny Joey and his crew any credit. The right author needs to tell the story. Or maybe there is too much ahead to tell it now?
Fair enough. People see things differently. What exactly do you think should be covered in a book that hasn't yet? To me the gap right now is when Ligambi was in charge, but we don't really have the witnesses to give us a lot of information on that. Ligambi's trial wasn't particularly exciting. And Merlino was in prison that entire time.
I see your point too. There isn't a story teller for Merlino's time. Sammy Gravano told the story on the stand and in his book and interviews on John Gotti. Joey's main guys have all hung tight and not ratted.
The story we need to hear is the time when Ligambi ran things. And his time since Joey got out. I think there is a lot more to know but again...who is giving the info? Ralph Natalie sure is worthless.
Just my opinion as I find the Philly family and its history so interesting.
