The Gambino Family History - W. G. Davis

Descriere The Gambino Family History - W. G. Davis

\nIn 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.\n \n \n \nHe creates the Five Families just like they did back in Sicily. His words were, We have to run our business like a business.\n \n \n \nWith 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.\n \nHe 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.\n \n \n \nIn a single move, Luciano creates the most powerful organized crime syndicate America has ever seen.\n \n \n \nAnd 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.\n \nEven 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.\n \n \n \nIn 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.\n \n \n \nWe'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.\n
