Just downloaded the Double Cross ( Sam Giancanna) - its on deck once I finish The Chin.
I’m about 70% through The Chin so its wrapping up.
Nothing new in the Gigante book that would make it worth seeking out, right? Covers common ground and is basically like a load of old newspaper articles rehashed and extended into a book, yes?
Pretty much. The author did a great job, but if you have already read a lot about the Chin it will just be going over and expanding on stuff you already know. A few interesting details here and there though. Get it if it's cheap.

Double Cross is an interesting one. Written by Giancana's relatives so you get a real insight into the man, they don't pull any punches. But it also makes some very bold claims which I would call bullshit on. Still worth checking out though.
