Description

The Gambino Family: A History of New York's Gambino Mafia Family This comprehensive history of the Gambino Family, one of New York's most infamous La Cosa Nostra organizations, spans over 100 years. From its early days, led by Salvatore D'Aquila, to the present, the book provides a detailed account of the family's rise and fall. Key events, including the assassinations of several bosses, are examined in depth, as well as the formation of the Commission in 1931 and the Carlo Gambino-led conspiracy that overthrew Joe Bonanno. The book also delves into the inner workings of the Gambino Family, including the Cherry Hill crew, a Sicilian-based operation that defied the family's rules on drug dealing. Additionally, the little-known Baltimore crew is explored, with connections to the family's Consigliere, Joe N. Gallo. Written by two experienced researchers, Andy Petepiece and Edmond Valin, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of organized crime in New York.
