Reading Joe Bonanno's book right now. Always interesting to get a first hand account from someone in the know, but my goodness does he yammer on about Sicilian tradition and his own personal stories that aren't mob related. Could have used a better co-writer that kept him on track. I'm just getting to the Castellammarese War part, though. I imagine it gets better.


"...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
