I'm aware of the charges against the book's accuracy. I don't believe he was ever under any sort of immunity from prosecution so he had to be careful what he said. That's probably why he claimed to be against drugs and kept Galante out of the book. He probably had a lawyer proofread every page. Even though I'm sure he's embellishing, I find his takes on the commission interesting.


"...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
