"The book was a labor of love for Luzi, who spent years researching it. He conducted personal interviews, scoured history books and newspaper articles, and even milked family connections to flesh out the book's story." --Casey Toner, Southtown Star "...I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the Chicago Heights Street Crew. It not only provides a well researched history of the crew, but also explains how the boys from Chicago Heights became an important, yet little known, part of the Chicago Outfit." --Robert M. Lombardo, Springer Science + Business Media New York 2013
Synopsis
Chicago Heights was long the seat of one of the major street crews of the Chicago Outfit, but its importance has often been overlooked and misunderstood. The crew's origins predate Prohibition, when Chicago Heights was a developing manufacturing center with a large Italian immigrant population. Its earliest bosses struggled for control until a viol, Chicago Heights was long the seat of one of the major street crews of the Chicago Outfit, but its importance has often been overlooked and misunderstood.

The crew's origins predate Prohibition, when Chicago Heights was a developing manufacturing center with a large Italian immigrant population. Its earliest bosses struggled for control until a violent gang war left the crew solidified under the auspices of Al Capone. For the remainder of the twentieth century, the boys from Chicago Heights generated large streams of revenue for the Outfit through its vast gambling enterprises, union infiltration and stolen auto rackets. For the first time, the history of the Chicago Heights street crew is traced from its inception through its last known boss.

    I've purchased a few DVD's/Blu ray's from this seller and what I've come to find is that they lowball the quallity of their media. This transaction is no different. While it was listed as "good", it's easily VERY GOOD IF NOT LIKE NEW! I've come to trust and rely on this seller's listings. THEY DO EVERYTING RIGHT: DESCRIPTION, SPEEDY SHIPPING IN A PADDED MAILER. If I see Goodwill Racine for an item at a reasonable price, I'm buying from them!

    Great read and very enlightening.

    Growing up in the area,I met personally with more than one of the members in this book without truly knowing the depth of their involvement. It was interesting to me to actually realize how connected and powerful they were in the underworld activities at the time. If you didn't know their background they were like everyone's "next door" neighbor and as friendly and accommodating as your best buddy. The book to me was a great read and I would recommend it to anyone who was remotely aware of the history and subject behind it. Kudos to the author.
