This review is from: Revolt in the Mafia (Hardcover)
Raymond V. Martin was Assistant Chief Inspector of the Brooklyn South Detective Squad in the early 1960's, and he made it his business to bust the Gallo Crime family, operating in his jurisdiction. He names names, and describes incidents, many of which Mario Puzo used in his "Godfather" novels, although some names are switched around. There's a Clemenza, another who is a hood that's a crooner, many more both famous and infamous. Martin describes the srategies and tactics he used to bring organized crime under control. He's a most unusual man, never having graduated from high school, apparently. He writes that the FBI was aware of the existence of a Mafia, even as it denied it. His take on the doings of the time--Congressional Crime hearings, the Kennedys--is interesting because of his point-of-view in law enforcement. A good read on a rainy night, partcularly if you're interested in where Mario Puzo got material for his novels.
