Customer Reviews

Double Cross by Sam Giancana

A very detailed history of the Chicago Mob and it's rise to infamy. A part of our history that most of us don't trully realize actually existed and to what extent. Not for the faint hearted reader but for the curious reader that has a quest to know the behind the scenes facts of our history. I found the book to be very informative, enjoyable, and hard to put down without completion. Read it slowly and absorb all the facts and many names involved.

One of the best Mafia books written. If true, the Best.

One of the few books that I can read over and over. If the informtion in this book is true and credible, this book answers almost all of the outstanding issues regarding: JFK's assassination, Marilyn Monroe's death, Castro/CIA, Phyllis Maguire,Jimmy Hoffa and Why convicted Bosses have so many prison privileges. The only unanswered question is: Who really killed Sam Giancana
