Blood and Honor

Inside the Scarfo Mob - The Mafia's Most Violent Family

By: George Anastasia

Narrated by: Joe Barrett

Here is the critically acclaimed inside story, now in an expanded edition, about the rise and fall of Philadelphia's notorious Scarfo organization. Blunt and unsparing, it is a firsthand account of murder, money, and corruption told by wiseguy-turned-witness Nick Caramandi, whose testimony put Nicky Scarfo and many of his associates behind bars for the rest of their lives. A prime target for hit men to this day, Caramandi continues to survive only through the government's Witness Protection Program. In this updated edition of Blood and Honor, author George Anastasia picks up the story where he left off, filling us in on the fates of all the characters - major and minor - in recent years.

Contains mature themes.

Entertaining to say the least

Book takes you completely away from whatever you’re doing. I found myself in traffic thoroughly entertained. I learned a lot and enjoyed the book.

Interesting story.

Definitely no surprise the crow rated. after all, we're taking about the guy who tried to hustle a kid out of his baseball card money. Plenty of blood, but not much honor. Regardless, the book was an excellent read(listen). The author and narrator are both perfect!

Narration

Very entertaining and informative book if you are a true crime / mob fan. The presentation is top notch as always by Joe Barret. I’ve driven thousands of miles listening to him. One of the best for sure

a good read

I read this book a long time ago. I can't give an opinion about the audio. it is a good read and some of it is actually funny . this book made me seek out Philly LCN booms. For my $$$ the Philly mob is more entertaining with more palace intrigues and deviousness. NYC gets the acclaim but 80s Philly LCN was like a gladiator pit.

Very detailed narrative

This book is very detailed narrative about Philly mob. Absorbing all the information could be challenging.
