A Gangster's Paradise - Saratoga Springs from Prohibition to Kefauver - Greg Veitch

Descriere A Gangster's Paradise - Saratoga Springs from Prohibition to Kefauver - Greg Veitch

\n \nDuring the era of the American gangster, Saratoga Springs was a virtual Gangster's Paradise. From Prohibition to Kefauver hoodlums, gunmen and gamblers had the run of the town. With public officials accepting graft on a grand scale, and police looking the other way, a who's who of organized crime made Saratoga Springs their playground. From Charles Lucky Luciano and Myer Lansky, to Joe Adonis and Frank Costello, the Spa hosted them all. \n In his follow up book to ALL THE LAW IN THE WORLD WON'T STOP THEM, retired Saratoga Springs police Chief Greg Veitch tells the stories of the exploits of both home-grown, and nationally known gangsters at the Spa. This historical account of Saratoga Springs between Prohibition and Kefauver takes the reader back to a time when Saratoga was, indeed, A Gangster's Paradise. \n
