Description
Charles 'Lucky' Luciano was a notorious mobster who rose to become the multimillionaire king of the New York underworld. However, his reputation was largely a fabrication, maintained by government agents who had put him behind bars. This biography sets the record straight, revealing the truth behind Luciano's life and exploits. Drawing on secret government documents, the book takes a fresh look at Luciano's career, from his early days as a top hit man to his involvement in sex and narcotics empires, and his alleged role in setting up a drugs importing racket in Nazi Germany. Through painstaking research, the author exposes the truth about Luciano's wartime activities and the complex conspiracy that led to his downfall. Luciano's story is one of deception and manipulation, and this book provides a detailed and fascinating account of his life and times.
