I love organized crime!!!! It is as old as time. I have
read every book I can get ahold of. I watch every movie I can. I have watched Gottion HBO and rented it several times. I am fascinated
with the impact it has on the economy, who really runs this country and what can be done
with the connections to organized crime. The Kennedy Assasination first spurred my
interest in the mob many years ago. If you look at "how" Kennedy got elected,
where his family earned their money and what connections Joe Kennedy had with Frank
Costello, it is not surprising as to how things get done or why things "do not"
get done. For a real wake up call read the Gemstone
file. I lays out a nice chronology of events from pre-WWI until the 80's.
Carlo Gambino
The first time I saw "The Godfather" I had no idea how
true to form much of it was. That was how true "Cosa Nostra" supposed to be.
Godfather II was even more realistic. The more I see it and read about other mobsters,
casinos, gambling (pre-Castro)in Cuba the more fascinating it becomes. Goodfellas, Casino,
Donny Brasco and many more were all true. The books were better than the movies. I love it
all!!! From Arnold Rothstein fixing the
World Series in 1919 to Vinny the Chins' trial, the Five Families. From Meyer Lansky to Don Carlo to Carlos Marcello. The
Teamsters pension fund to Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance.
Lucky Luciano

The most fascinating book I read was "Mob Lawyer"
written by Nicholas Pileggi as told by Frank Ragano. Ragano served as Jimmy Hoffas' and Santos Trafficantes' personal
attorney for 20+ years. It was only after Trafficantes' death did he write the book as the
client/attorney priveledge was no longer valid. Trafficante, who was cohorts of Carlos
Marcello were two of the most notorious and well known Mobsters of all time. The facts in
Raganos' book are almost an outline of what the commision appointed to investigate the
Kennedy Assasination in 1978 had suspected all along. He tells of many events of Jimmy
Hoffas' battles with Bobby Kennedy, jury tampering, the Test Fleet case and connections
with every major mob boss in the country. Best of all, explicit details of the Kennedy
Assassination.
