Eminent Gangsters: Immigrants and the Birth of Organized Crime in America

by James J. Fentress

Book Overview

This book explores a central and significant chapter in the social and economic history of modern America. If the story of the eminent gangsters is not the orthodox, rags-to-riches American success story, neither can it be dismissed as merely a crime story.
