Not at all impressed with this book. Poorly written, jumps all over the place, seems to be information just culled from newspapers and periodicals. Normally I devour books about the Mafia, but in this case I just cannot recommend it.

Such an interesting mob book that delves into the Red Hook gangs, crooks and other denizens of the area. Filled with lots of gangsters, many with colorful nicknames. I liked the history and tales from long ago about these guys and their mob wars. It’s another good true crime book from these authors.

A very disappointing look at what could have been an endlessly fascinating subject. I was very much looking forward to this book. I cannot recommend.

I was excited to see a book written about the Mafia and a specific area in NY, but this book definitely is not what I was expecting. This book reads like snip it's taken out of a newspaper and compiled together, with some witness accounts.
This book is choppy and doesn't flow very well, because it is just snipits. I highly do not recommend this book, it could be so much more than what it is.
