The History of the New York Underworld 1900-1935
The most comprehensive book written on New York City's underworld from 1900 - 1935.

The murders of some 700 gangsters are profiled in detail. This veritable encyclopedia of the New York underworld explores the origins of Mafia initiation rites and uncovers the most important gang wars, many still unknown to average readers.
