Description
American Mafia: Chicago explores the history of the city's most infamous gangs. This book delves into the stories of the men and women who made Windy City history, revealing the events behind the legends and the beginnings of the families that ruled the streets. From the early days of loosely-organized gangs terrorizing neighborhoods to the mob's headiest years when Al Capone and his men controlled the city, American Mafia: Chicago offers a glimpse into an era marked by ever-twisting allegiances and tangled webs of relationships. The stories behind these infamous families remain, hidden in plain sight, waiting to be uncovered. Most of the buildings from that era have vanished, but the tales themselves endure, preserved for those willing to look beyond the surface.
