Sanyika Shakur

Grove Press, 2004

Eye-Opening Book About The Real Gang Life
I've read this book several times over the years. Author Sanyika Shakur offers a sobering and disturbing look into the other side of Los Angeles. For anyone seeking understanding into what turns a young man into a hard-core gangster, this book is invaluable reading. The book is unapologetically violent and includes some graphic descriptions of an inmate-on-inmate assault inside the Los ...

Gang Leader for a Day: A Rogue Sociologist Takes to the Streets

54 reviews
Sudhir Venkatesh

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008

Raw, Realistic, Gripping
This is a stark but gripping look at gangs, drugs, and life in public housing. In 1989, sociology student Sudhir Venkatesh walked from the University of Chicago to nearby housing projects to survey residents, only to be detained as a likely spy for rivals by the Black Kings street gang. Yet Vankatesh was soon befriended by gang leader J.T., and for the next few years he alternated between the ...

True History of the Kelly Gang: A Novel

102 reviews
Peter Carey

Vintage, 2001

Heartbreaking struggles
This one's a heartbreaker about poor Irish and their futile efforts to avoid being stepped on an ruined by the wealthy and powerful, leading to inevitable crimes of revenge and justice. Written in dialect that's not difficult as though it were actually Kelly writing. Highly recommended.

The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight: A Novel

7 reviews
Jimmy Breslin

Back Bay Books, 1997

If Fredo Corleone Headed His Own Family....
It may very well have turned out like the rollicking racketeers in this novel. Film has elevated the Mafioso to either a Brando-like brilliant elder statesman, calculating and controlled Pacino or overweight but sexy Tony Soprano. Breslin spins all those ideas off the map with a tale about "regular guys" who happen to be mobsters and are, in fact, none too successful at it. Graphic and brutal, ...

The Gangs of New York: An Informal History of the Underworld

53 reviews
Herbert Asbury

Basic Books, 2001

A dark and brooding saga
Herbert asbusrys Gangs of New York remains a masterpiece of Urban mythology. It's accuracy is constantly questioned by killjoy historians and researchers (yes, the same kind of people who take joy in in de-romantisizing the world by constantly trying to prove that there were no gunfighters in the old West and that there is no life on other planets and that medieval knights actually never ...

Leonard Maltin, Richard W. Bann

Three Rivers Press, 1992

Highly Recommended
The Little Rascals: The Life and Times of Our Gang is the most comprehensive book available about the popular short series. Leonard Maltin, longtime fan of both Hal Roach comedies and the Our Gang series itself, writes both intelligently and lovingly about the series with the help of Richard W. Bann.

Zhi Gang Sha

New World Library, 2006

Are you serious about self healing?
Dr. Sha's concept of healing the soul first, then the mind and body healing will follow will make tremendous sense to anyone who has done any serious level of self exploration and soul searching, and will be quite eye opening to anyone suffering from illnesses that western doctors cannot explain. Dr. Sha's style of combining prayer, meditation, positive intention, visual imagery, and energy ...

Gang Intelligence Manual: Identifying And Understanding Modern-Day Violent Gangs In The United States

6 reviews
Bill Valentine

Paladin Press, 1995

Good, If Slightly Outdated, Info on Gangs
Although the book is a bit outdated, it's a very good book on all manner of street gangs. And though it doesn't cover the gangs of the area I live in, the information is still valid and pretty well relevant. If you have children and want to learn what to watch out for, or if you're in a profession that deals with them, then this book is a must. Especially if you combine it with the other book ...

Debra Weyermann

Poseidon Pr, 1993

Grandstaff Gang
Absolutely brilliantly written story. I have recommended this book over and over again. I wish it wasn't out of print, because people I have talked to about it have found it hard to obtain. It not only chronicles an amazing story, but also shows the "underside" that exists in many of the larger, industrial towns in Iowa--something that most people don't know about and don't believe exists if ...

Zhi Gang Sha

HarperOne, 2003

Exceptional Work
This book has been instrumental in helping me reclaim good health. I wanted to read more of Dr. Sha's work so I also purchased Zhi Neng Medicine, which is also excellent. While I didn't always experience the same results as many of the case histories, I DID experience some positive results every time I used the techniques in this book and have been able to completely heal several disease ...
