[Eamon Loingsigh · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is quite possibly the most inaccurate and purposefully manipulated book I have ever read. This, what is it a docu-drama? Ugh, what a mess. A reader looking for factual information should only use this book to stand on in order to reach Luc Sante's work or Herbert Asbury's. Whole scenes and entire groups of characters and their monikers are fraudulently and fictionally created. Take it from someone who studied every detail of the White Hand Gang that supposedly went to "war" with the mafia and lost... This is utterly fictional dressed up as a historical documentation. The Italians and Irish never fought the war some people have portrayed for their own ends. Just disn't happen. Oh and the "Godfather" of all the Brooklyn and Manhattan Italian gangsters? His name also happens to be Balsamo. Fancy that. Eamon Loingsigh

An easy read that provides a good overview of organized crime in America, and New York in particular.

[Ravali · Rating 3 out of 5]

Reads like a novel. Am not sure if all the facts are checked out as it has no reliable glossary

Interesting story. Terrible, terrible writing.
