While some folks may find government documents and writings dry, this book is right on, with juicy information not found elsewhere. Compiled in the late 50's (there are handwritten notes in 1960 on persons that died), this is not your typical book, which is good. While I have several books written by authors about the Mafia, this book goes beyond that. It gives the home address, family, associates, business and other information on 843 Mafia persons of that day, some never mentioned in other books. So, if you just want facts and not a story, this is the book for you. A great book for research, or those wanting to see where they lived. Could be used for limited geneaology also. A gem of a book.
Are you one of those people that turn on the Biography channel and are totally into the lives of people that have made history? If yes, then this book is for you! I find myself watching a great biography and then running in to get my "Mafia" book to see if there's anymore information I can dig up! It's great to see whos connected to who and what their lives are about! I almost feel like my own detective! It's just entertaining.
