The Gambinos--they arrived in America from Sicily when the `20's roared with bootleg liquor. For thirty years they fought a bloody battle for control of New York's underworld to emerge as the nation's richest and most powerful crime family. Now Mafia expert John H. Davis tells their compelling inside story. Here are the chilling details and deceptions that created a vast criminal empire. Here are six decades of the uncontrolled greed and lust for power of such men as Lucky Luciano, Frank Costello, Meyer Lansky, Vito Genovese, Albert Anastasia, Carlo Gambino, Paul Castellano, and John Gotti--men for whom murder and betrayal were business as usual.

In the fall of 1931, Charles "Lucky" Luciano calls the most powerful gangsters to a hotel in Chicago for a meeting that will soon change the way that organized crime is run in America. He creates the Five Families just like they did back in Sicily. His words were, "We have to run our business like a business." With the Capos, the Crews, and the Consiglieres, all reporting to the head of the family, The Boss, but there will be no more Boss of Bosses. He also created a board of directors, "The Commission" run by the heads of the five New York families. They will have the final say in all matters, even life and death. In a single move, Luciano creates the most powerful organized crime syndicate America has ever seen. And then twenty-six-years later on the morning of October 25, 1957, Albert Anastasia was killed, and with his death came the birth of The Gambino Crime Family. Even though they are no longer headline news in the newspapers across the country, The Gambino Crime Family continues to be active in a variety of criminal enterprises. In this book, we will journey over 100 years of Mafia history from the 1898 reign of Ignazio 'the Wolf' Lupo, through the prohibition years and the 1929 Castellammarese War. We'll trace the footsteps and battles of Lucky Luciano, Carlo Gambino, Paul Castellano, and John Gotti as they make millions, kill thousands, and create empires.

Excerpt: The Lucchese crime family is one of the "Five Families" that dominates organized crime activities in New York City, U.S., within the nationwide criminal phenomenon known as the Mafia (or Cosa Nostra). Originally put together by Gaetano "Tommy" Reina in the early 1920s up until his murder in 1930, their illicit activities include profiting from labor and construction racketeering, illegal gambling, loansharking, extortion, drug trafficking, money laundering, hijacking, fraud, fencing and murder for hire. The family was taken over by Gaetano "Tommy" Gagliano during the Castellammarese War until his death in 1951. The family under Gagliano was peaceful and low key, concentrating their criminal actives in the Bronx, Manhattan and New Jersey. The next boss was Tommy "Three-Finger Brown" Lucchese who turned the family around and became one of the most powerful Commission members.

This true crime biography by a Mafia insider chronicles the hair-raising life of the notorious Colombo crime family boss. In the golden age of organized crime, Carmine “The Snake” Persico was the King of the Streets. The defacto boss of the Colombo Mafia family since the 1970s, he oversaw major rackets and legendary gang wars. Suspected of committing scores of murders and ordering hundreds more, he was sentenced to 139 years in federal prison. Yet even behind bars he continued to exert power over a vast criminal empire with the help of his brother, Alphonse "Allie Boy" Persico. In this blistering street-level account, “Mafia survivor” Frank Dimatteo teams up with veteran true-crime author Michael Benson to reveal the inside story of Carmine’s criminal career. Growing up on the mean streets of Brooklyn, Carmine got an early start as the leader of the fearsome Garfield Boys. He was recruited into the Profaci and Colombo crime families before his bloody betrayal of the Gallo brothers. This volume captures all the drama of Carmine’s infamous exploits—including his role in the ambush-slaying of Albert Anastasia—and the many courtroom trials where witnesses against him came down with sudden cases of amnesia.
