Gangsters and Organized Crime in Buffalo

History, Hits and Headquarters

By: Michael F. Rizzo

Narrated by: Danny Campbell

Take a tour of Buffalo, New York's mobster and mafia history. Local mob expert reveals gangsters' stories, hangouts, and more.

Buffalo has housed its fair share of thugs and mobsters. Besides common criminals and bank robbers, a powerful crime family headed by local boss Stefano Magaddino emerged in the 1920s. Close to Canada, Niagara Falls and Buffalo were perfect avenues through which to transport booze, and Magaddino and his Mafiosi maintained a stranglehold on the city until his death in 1974. Local mob expert Michael Rizzo takes a tour of Buffalo's mafia exploits everything from these brutal gangsters' favorite hangouts to secret underground tunnels to murder.

pretty

its a nice short read about the history of orgenized crime in buffalo. not a lot of acounts about the mafia there, so if you are a mafia fan, you will enjoy it. the auother is from buffalo, and it adds to the overall expirience.

This Narrator is Awful

The story is great, but for the life of me I don’t understand how this narrator gets work. There are so many great audiobooks ruined by him. Anyway, the story is a great look into organized crime in Buffalo and its impact on other families. The narration is profoundly bad, and they mispronounce a lot of names, but last that it’s a good one.

Narrator is really bad, book sounds like reading a newspaper

The narrator sounds like he has a sore throat. The book is extremely hard to follow and all over the place.

Horrible

Seemed like.all the.narrator was doing is reading newspaper headlines from the time.period. Storyhorr was horrendous
