These agents were pioneers, who were required to wage war against one of the most powerfully entrenched organized crime organizations in the country since the days of Al Capone.

Book Synopsis Bullets for Dead Hoods by : John Corbett

Download or read book Bullets for Dead Hoods written by John Corbett. This book was released on 2020. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This haunting dossier--anonymously assembled and found in a thrift store--gives an unprecedented and intimate lowdown on the Chicago mafia In the early 2000s, Chicago author, curator and gallerist John Corbett struck thrifter's gold in a going-out-of-business Chicago junk shop when he stumbled onto a 1933 manuscript intimately documenting the Chicago Mafia. The tone of the browned and brittled pages immediately grabbed him--sensationalistic and funny, they read like an embellished police blotter as they named names, gave addresses, and detailed crimes. Presented here in facsimile in order to capture the physicality of the typewritten and annotated document, Bullets for Dead Hoods: An Encyclopedia of Chicago Mobsters, c. 1933offers an expanded overview of the Chicago Outfit through 140 character sketches that range from the infamous--Al Capone, Big Jim Colosimo, the Everleigh Sisters--to their lesser-known aiders and abetters. Whoever dared to put this testament together was clearly someone with access to information--a cop? a detective? a newspaperman? a bitter mafioso?--but who would've risked sharing this information, and why, is a mystery that will most likely never be solved. What is left for us is a concise introduction to a particularly gripping chapter in American history that, through its details, knits Chicago together in a new way. In addition to the 1933 manuscript in facsimile (approximately 185 pages), the book includes an introduction by John Corbett; a compilation of the 500+ locations referenced in the manuscript; and a map featuring those street addresses in Chicago.

Book Synopsis Mafia Spies by : Thomas Maier

Download or read book Mafia Spies written by Thomas Maier. This book was released on 2019-04-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Bestselling Author and Television Producer of MASTERS OF SEX, a True Story of Espionage and Mobsters, Based on the Never-Before-Released JFK Files, and Optioned by Warner Bros. Mafia Spies is the definitive account of America’s most remarkable espionage plots ever—with CIA agents, mob hitmen, “kompromat” sex, presidential indiscretion, and James Bond-like killing devices together in a top-secret mystery full of surprise twists and deadly intrigue. In the early 1960s, two top gangsters, Johnny Roselli and Sam Giancana, were hired by the CIA to kill Cuba’s Communist leader, Fidel Castro, only to wind up murdered themselves amidst Congressional hearings and a national debate about the JFK assassination. Mafia Spies revolves around the outlaw friendship of these two mob buddies and their fascinating world of CIA spies, fellow Mafioso in Chicago, Cuban exile commandos in Miami, beautiful Hollywood women, famous entertainers like Frank Sinatra’s Rat Pack in Las Vegas, Castro’s own spies in Havana and his double agents hidden in Florida, J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI snooping, and the Kennedy administration’s “Get Castro” obsession in Washington. Thomas Maier is among the first to take full advantage of the National Archives’ 2017–18 release of the long-suppressed JFK files, many of which deal with the CIA’s top secret anti-Castro operation in Florida and Cuba. With several new investigative findings, Mafia Spies is a spy exposé, murder mystery, and shocking true story that recounts America’s first foray into the assassination business, a tale with profound impact for today’s Trump era. Who killed Johnny and Sam—and why wasn’t Castro assassinated despite the CIA’s many clandestine efforts?
