The Gambino Mafia Crime Family: The Complete and Fascinating History of New York Crime Organization - Hardcover

The Gambino family is a prime example of organized crime families, and their in-house fighting and varying styles of leadership have defined the age of the mob. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the family underwent a series of names and leaders, but they always remained at the top of the New York mob regime and retained their Sicilian ties.

From the dark days of the Great Depression through to the media-filled part of the late twentieth century, their activities gave family members a chance to flourish and become successful or fall by the wayside, depending on the circumstances. Mob life can change on a dime and affect the lives of all concerned, and this book is a comprehensive history of the Gambino fortunes and falls.
