Description
The deadly underbelly of New York City's Brooklyn was once home to some of America's most powerful and notorious organized crime families. For over a century, the Red Hook section of Brooklyn was at the heart of this world of violence and corruption. From the infamous Irish gang known as The White Hand to the Italian Gallo brothers who ran President Street, generations of mobsters left their mark on the area. This book tells the story of American crime at its most powerful, corrupt, and coldly efficient, with vivid accounts of brutal hits, bullet storms, and backstabbings. The author's own eyewitness account adds a personal touch to this gripping history, drawing on his experiences growing up as the son of a Mafia bodyguard.
