I am finding this Mazza to be very truthful, and accurate in his recitation of events from the Colombo war.
He speaks well and lays out the facts in a pretty accurate way IMO.
He's definitely one of the more believable former street people giving interviews Too bad Vlad is a moron. You see the look on Larry's face when Vlad said Vic Orena sent his brother Mickey Brown and sons Willie Boy and Michael to disappear 15 Persicos?

I heard it was a really good book. His book is one of the few I never read. Since you guys are speaking so well of it, I may have to get a copy. Another book I never bothered with was the Philip Carlo book on Casso. I could hardly get past the first few pages. Almost total disinformation and bullshit. Not worth my time.

The last half about the Columbo War was good. The first half, in my opinion, was just to much about his relationship with Linda.

Don't waste your time with that Casso book. Another good book is Peter Lance's Deal With the Devil.

Another book I never bothered with was the Philip Carlo book on Casso. I could hardly get past the first few pages. Almost total disinformation and bullshit. Not worth my time. Mazza's book is very good, he doesn't come off as a bull shitter or embellisher in the least bit. The book blew away my expectations. The Casso book was a great read despite Carlos terrible writing and kissing of Casso's ass. The only reason I say that is because of all the stuff Casso was involved with. He was in the bypass gang, had dirty cops, was involved in countless murders, went on the run for a few years, his friendship with Burt Kaplan, the involvement with the Russians, Gemini twins, etc. If you want to read something more well written and without the random of Carlo on Casso I suggest the Brotherhoods. Now that was a well written and researched masterpiece.

Wiseguy The brotherhoods Blood and Honor Underboss Gravano Family Secrets by Jeff Cohen Boardwalk by Ovid Demaris Mobbed Up Jackie Presser Story Mob Star Murder Machine Mob Boss. Darco Mafia Prince. Leonetti The Underboss. Jerry Anguilo
The best books on the mob bar none. Since it’s not 100% Cosa Nostra I didn’t include it but Hitman by Carr and Johnny Montorano could also be on here
Also must reads are The Westies,Five Families, and if you like Joe Gallo stuff read The Luparelli Tapes and The Sixth Family together.

Is The Brotherhood's all about Casso and his two cops? Yes and it's a great book.

Watched the latest interview. I don't buy a word. Mazza claims both Junior Persico and his son Allie Boy knew for 20 years that Greg Scarpa was a rat, and that Allie Boy told him that himself. Has anyone heard this? I think Mazza just took it the wrong way. Like when the papers finally broke the news about Scarpa a hundred wiseguys probably made the statement "I knew it, I knew he was a rat. My dad and I knew it for 20 years he was a rat". Not like ,"Oh yeah Scarpas a rat. We've know for 20 years. No big deal".
