The true story of how Detroit's Purple-Licavoli Gang took over Toledo and its aftermath. Prohibition and Toledo's proximity to rum-running routes made it an ideal target of organized crime and the author details how the takeover was implemented and how corruption eased the process.
This book has a certain unbiased nature to it. The man who wrote it was a disbarred lawyer and you can feel through his writing there is a tinge of revenge throughout.
I didn't care for the writing - it was laborious and fairly boring.
The stories within are cool, but if you're looking for a better title on the same topic, check out Nothing Personal, Just Business by Dickson.
