Giacomo_Vacari: Damn, he is posting the same things over and over, nothing new. Watch out the flu is bad this year. January 20th Trump gets sworn in, and hopefully turn things around.
VanillaLimeCoke: Yeah, but they’re already planning things so he can’t turn them around
VanillaLimeCoke: Biden’s pardened over 8000 people, most of which were issued in the last 2-3 months

Start with Mafia history.

"Five Families" by Selwyn Raab is an excellent addition to any home library.

I'm moving this thread to a forum involving mob books.

Welcome to the boards, Most_Wanted.

I just finished reading FIVE FAMILIES, myself. Excellent read.

I'd suggest you next tackle one or more Mob biographies, since each covers more than just the individual being written about:

Little Man - Meyer Lansky and the Gangster Life(Robert Lacey) is the best overall Mob bio, IMO. Thoroughly researched. Debunks many myths about Lansky. Gives first-rate background on growth of gambling in Cuba and Nevada, and plenty about Bugsy Siegel and Charlie Luciano.

King of the Godfathers (Anthonly DiStefano) is a solid, factual tracing of Big Joe Massino's career, and is very good about all the complex machinations of the Bonanno Family following Joe Bonanno's "retirement."

A Man of Honor is Joe Bonanno's autobiography. All autobios are apologias for the author, and this is no exception. Keeping in mind that Bonanno lied up, down and sideways about his career (especially drugs), it's still a fascinating read. It has the best extant description of the famous Castellemmarese War, and has some very interesting descriptions of his fellow Mobsters.

Capone had two excellent bios, both titled Capone: by John Kobler and Laurence Bergreen. Kobler's is the more scholarly of the two, but Bergreen's has more detail.

Hope this helps. smile
