Description
Albert Anastasia: The Lord High Executioner The life and crimes of Albert Anastasia, the infamous mafia boss, are a brutal and fascinating story in the history of American organized crime. Born in Italy, Anastasia rose to become one of the most powerful and homicidal crime bosses of the twentieth century, earning him the nickname "The One Man Army" and "Mad Hatter". Anastasia's rise to power was marked by a series of ruthless killings, including the merciless assassination of Mafia godfather Vincent Mangano. He set a record for the first man in American justice to be charged with four separate murders, yet walked free after each one. However, his actions ultimately led to his downfall, as he became the last obstacle in rival Mafia hoodlum Vito Genovese's dream of becoming the boss of bosses. This book, written by Mafia insider Frank Dimatteo and acclaimed true-crime author Michael Benson, is the first full-length account of Anastasia's bloody rise to power, featuring never-before-told accounts from those who feared him most.
