This began a rash of gangs--Italian, Irish, Jewish, Black--that sold everything from booze and drugs to stolen goods. protection, sex and games of chance. It was hard to tell the good guys from the bad because political and police corruption ran rampant for almost 100 years. Author Fred Lavner takes you back for all the incredible details and a meet up with all the infamous characters.
