"Best Mafia Book Ever"

I've read this book and a few other Mafia books and I can say that after reading this one this is by far the best one. It is a very throughly researched and accurate account of the five main mafia families in the united states. It describes many different individuals in each family from the lowest soldier/associate to the heads of the family themselves.The book also describes about the power that the five mafia families executed throughout the whole New York City area from the beginning of the 1900's up until the 1980's when the were being sought after much more by the FBI and Rudy Gilliani, which eventually led to many of them being prosecuted and convicted.

WELL WORTH IT!!

As an avid mob book reader, I found this book to be an extremely good read. A lot of the things about the New York families pretty much has been documented in other books, but it helped me figure out the complex way New Jersey is divided among the families. If you're a vet like myself at reading up on the mob, this may not excite you as much. But if you're a novice then this book is for you.

Definitely worth the read, particularly if you are interested in exploring New York Mafia. Rita Schiano, author of "Painting the Invisible Man."

BEST MAFIA BOOK

This book is the best MAFIA book written thatIve read yet. A very thorough, inclusive book where the authir is able to best describe the attributes of both the mafia lowlifes who prey on innocent people and the cops who chase them. In each description of each mafiosa, we see who they cower and betray any honorable code that they swore to.

Interesting and Accurate

I've read about half the book and I enjoy it very much. It's the best book I've read on this topic from a complete historical and objective perspective.

For half a century, the American Mafia outwitted, outmaneuvered, and outgunned the FBI and other police agencies, wreaking unparalleled damages to America?s social fabric and business enterprises while emerging as the nation?s most formidable crime empire. The vanguard of this criminal juggernaut is still led by the Mafia?s most potent and largest borgatas: New York?s Five Families.
Five Families is the vivid story of the rise and fall of New York?s premier dons from Lucky Luciano to Paul Castellano to John Gotti and more. This definitive history brings the reader right up to the possible resurgence of the Mafia as the FBI and local law-enforcement agencies turn their attention to homeland security and away from organized crime. The paperback has been revised and updated, with a new epilogue focusing on the trial of the notorious ?Mafia Cops.?
