The Other Chicago Mob: The True Story of Gary Cohen Man in Blue ReviewI bought this book for my husband, who is interested in mobs and cops and Chicago history. He says the book is fun to read. And very descriptive- sometimes too descriptive. He suggests I read it. He recommends it as a good read.The Other Chicago Mob: The True Story of Gary Cohen Man in Blue Overview

The Chicago Outfit (IL) (Images of America) ReviewAs a fellow mafia historian I found Mr. Binder's book to be one of the best researched and accurate accounts of the Chicago Outfit. This book has assisted me in confirming some of the names of Chicago Heights Mob members. I own an original photo scrapbook with photo's of John Roberts and other mafia members that until this book came out I wasn't able to positively identify many of them. This book should be a must have for anyone who has an interest in the mafia. I'm hoping Mr. Binder will someday come out with a second book!The Chicago Outfit (IL) (Images of America) Overview

Family Affair: Greed, Treachery, and Betrayal in the Chicago Mafia ReviewAfter the excellent job Scott Burnstein did with Motor City Mafia I knew this was going to be a winner. I was right! Scott did multiple interviews with agents to get the real deal on what was happening with the Family Secrets trial and other recent cases involving the Chicago Outfit. His narrative is a real easy read and he explained things well. As an attorney Scott covered all the bases with a fine tooth comb. For those who are interested, all the names and their stories are told here. "Joe Batters" Accardo, Joe Lombardo, Angelo LaPietra, Tony Spilotro, Nick and Frank Calabrese and more have their stories. But he doesn't just cover the bad guys, he also gives us a little info on the heroes, the FBI agents who develop cases so the criminals can be taken off the streets. So for those who are into what's been going on in the Outfit over the past 30 years, this book is for you.Family Affair: Greed, Treachery, and Betrayal in the Chicago Mafia Overview

Operation Family Secrets: How a Mobster's Son and the FBI Brought Down Chicago's Murderous Crime Family ReviewThis is a brutal story that chronicles a murderous "outfit" in the Chicago mob that is built around a psychopathic Father, Frank Calabrese Sr. and his son Frank Calabrese, Jr., who tells the story of a domineering abusive Father that forces him into the same way of life. The cold blooded descriptions of one murder after another are not for the squeamish. Frank Jr. who kept trying unsuccessfully to get out from under his multi-personality cold-blooded killing Father to try to lead a "straight" life... eventually winds up in a federal prison with his Father. Then he does the most unthinkable of the unthinkable. He puts his life on the line by contacting the FBI to rat on his Father... and agrees to wear a wire *IN THE PRISON YARD* to get taped confessions of his Father's almost uncountable amount of murders. The reader can feel the spine tingling tension and fear when the son takes a walk with his Father in the "yard" fully "wired-up". Jr. feels his Father is such a menace to society as well as already reneging on his pledge to get out of the "business" after prison, it's the only chance he himself has for a real life after prison. As if the emotional toll isn't high enough... simply ratting out his Father... but for Jr. to tell the whole story to the FBI he will have to include putting a noose around his Uncle Nick's neck, who Jr. has real affection for. Nick was involved in double digit murders either with... or at the bequest of Frank Sr. Though Nick was a cold-blooded killer himself... even he buckled under and cowered in the presence of Frank Sr. the few times he tried to stand up to Sr. regarding not forcing Jr. into "the-life"... he was physically and emotionally pummeled.
The family "outfit" specialized in "juiced" loans, gambling, labor racketeering, "no-show" jobs that were made famous in numerous "Soprano" episodes', extortion, and countless murders. And when it came to murder it didn't matter whether you were in the "outfit" or not. The corruption covered travels from Chicago to Las Vegas to Indiana and points in between. Numerous real life killings, skimming's, and breaking of mob code described here were used in Martin Scorsese's film "CASINO".
There are millions of dollars buried in the ground... riches hidden behind fake walls... and an abundance of one of my favorite nuances indigenous to true life mob sagas... *NICKNAMES*! Here are a few: "JOE BATTERS/BIG TUNA/DOVES/THE LACKEY/THE HOOK/JOHNNY APES/POKER TIRES/SHORTY/BIG STOOP/TOOTS/LITTLE GUY/TWAN/GUMBA/CICCIO/CURLY/WINGS/JOE NAGALL/ROCKY/TONY BORS/LITTLE JIMMY/JIMMY LIGHT/TONY THE HATCH/SOLLY D/THE CLOWN/LUMPY/THE ANT/THE INDIAN/TOOTSIE/JIMMY THE BOMBER/NO NOSE/THE BUILDER/THE MOOCH. The history making trial that is built around Jr.'s tapes and testimony has gone down as one of the biggest mob convictions in history... and you have a front row seat with this book.
