Murder, Inc.

The Mafia's Hit Men in New York City

By: Graham K. Bell

Narrated by: Patrick Lawlor

Beginning in the 1920s, an all-star team of goons, gunmen, and garrotters transformed America's criminal landscape. Its membership was diverse; the mob recruited men from all ethnicities and religious backgrounds. Most were natives of the Big Apple, handpicked from the city's toughest neighborhoods: Brownsville, Ocean Hill, Flushing. So prolific were their exploits that the media soon dubbed this bevy of hired hands Murder, Incorporated. The brainchild of aging mob bosses, including Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel, this ruthless hit squad quickly captured America's attention, making headlines coast to coast for over two decades. As for who these men were and how their partnership came to be, join author Graham Bell as he sheds light on this dark history of the Mafia's most notorious crime syndicate.

must for fans of orgenized crime

Murder, Inc. is one of the most interesting storys of 1920 mafia. the book tells it short and to the point, but i think it was too short. still, its must read for fans of orgenized crime.

interesting

stories about the struggles and strength of the leadership of the crime families and their influence and control

good book

for its length it is a good book but you can only fit in so many details in such a short book. for its length though it got a good amount of stuff in there.

Short and to the point.

Nothing wrong but Very short. Do rather recommend The five families by Selwyn Raab instead for people with interest.
