Really this book di not enlighten anything to the person that has been following the mob in different books and other stories you are really not given any new information. For the people that have read anything about the Chicago mob the “Outfit” you already know the he used teamsters’ retirement fund to laundry money and also help build casinos in Las Vegas. His biggest problem was not being able to put the money back in and to start playing hardball with the higher ups thinking he was something. Which he was gone forever no trace. The author talks about the association with the Kennedy election and also the assignation which has always been associated with the Chicago mob and New Orleans mob. He also speaks about the Cuban involvement which was also one of the reasons for The Watergate break-in since Nixon was part of the team that came up with the original plan when he was Vice President, also why two Cuban Nationals were arrested during that break-in. There was always talk of a secret bank account in Laguna California that was linked to Nixon and the mob and when it was rob in the 70’s the men who did were not only hunted down by the feds but by the mob. There is a book all about that which was interesting. This book for me was not anything new I have been reading and following stories here in the states and Italy since the early 70s. If you want to get started it would be an okay book.
