Book Description
The Gambinos--they arrived in America from Sicily when the `20's roared
with bootleg liquor.For thirty years they fought a bloody battle for
control of New York's underworld to emerge as the nation's richest and
most powerful crime family. Now Mafia expert John H. Davis tells their
compelling inside story.
Here are the chilling details and deceptions that created a vast criminal
empire. Here are six decades of the uncontrolled greed and lust for
power of such men as Lucky Luciano, Frank Costello, Meyer Lansky, Vito
Genovese, Albert Anastasia, Carlo Gambino, Paul Castellano, and John
Gotti--men for whom murder and betrayal were business as usual. From
the Gambinos' powerful stranglehold on New York's construction, garment,
and waterfront industries to the government's onslaught against them
in the `80s and `90s, Mafia Dynasty takes you into the mysterious world
of blood oaths, shifting alliances, and deadly feuds that will hold
you riveted from the first page to the last.
