3.0 out of 5 stars
Full of Promise, but it doesn't deliver,
By Michael D. Pratt (Kentucky) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fighting Organized Crime: Politics, Justice, and the Legacy of Thomas E. Dewey (Hardcover)
I would rate this book at 2 1/2 to 3 stars. The subject matter is interesting in that it covers a period of our history that has long thrilled Americans. The author knows her subject matter very well. My main problem with the book was that it bordered on revisionist. I got the feeling while reading it that the author believed that everyone Dewey prosecuted was innocent and was railroaded by a fixed system. She never comes right out and says it. I feel that if she really believed it should she just say it and not beat around the bush. Still, all in all I would recommend it. It gives you a a good flavor of organized crime and New York City in the 1930s.
