Book Description

1969
If Joe Valachi were released from prison today, he would be dead in 24 hours... And the Cosa Nostra would pay his killer $100.000! Joe Valachi was one of the Mafia's most loyal soldiers. For more than thirty years he survived in an organization where failure means death. His career encompassed burglary, slot machines, shylocking, numbers, narcotics and, according to Justice Department estimates, 33 murders!

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific read, October 15, 2011
For anyone that likes Mafia history, Bronx and New York City History, or Italian American and Organized Crime history, this is a terrifically interesting, fluid, and informative read. I couldn't put it down and loved looking up familiar addresses in the Bronx that were mentioned in the book on Googlemaps as I read along.

A good read still to this day, in a very important time when the mafia was beginning to come to light more clearly to the public eye.
