A great true crime read! The story is compelling and offers a unique look into the life and times of a Mafia Don. I found this book hard to put down.

Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

The legitimate biography of Vito Genovese, the bigger than life mobster who was everything but legitimate during his colorful life of crimes and numerous misdemeanors...
Anthony DeStefano has written a fiendishly good portrait of an unscrupulous man who steadfastly and ruthlessly built an empire through anything illegal you could possibly name. Name it, he did it. This biography reads like a thriller. Actually it's like reading on a rollercoaster.Nothing is left untouched, nothing is left in the dark and you better make sure that your seatbelt is well fastened It's actually more than the biography of a notorious mobster. It's the biography of a 20th century crime family and the malevolent roots it deeply anchored all around the World. A very satisfying read, full of fascinating details that allowed me to finally understand what the mafia was, stood for and its brutish influence throughout American history. A great book to be enjoyed without moderation👍👍

Many thanks to Netgalley and Kensington Books for giving me the opportunity to read this wonderful biography prior to the release date

This book drew me because my father grew up in the 30s and told me stories about the key mob players as I was growing up in the 70s-80s. I like how the author put the story It in a very interesting way and didn't glamorize anything.
