New York City Gangland (Images of America)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Throughout the United States, there is no single major metropolitan area more closely connected to organized crimeâ€™s rapid ascendancy on a national scale than New York City. In 1920, upon the advent of Prohibition, Gothamâ€™s shadowy underworld began evolving from strictly regional and often rag-tag street gangs into a sophisticated worldwide syndicate that wasâ€•like the chocolate egg crÃ¨meâ€•incubated within the confines of its five boroughs. New York City Gangland offers an unparalleled collection of rarely circulated images, many appearing courtesy of exclusive law enforcement sources, in addition to the private albums of indigenous racketeering figures such as Charles â€œLuckyâ€ Luciano, Al â€œScarfaceâ€ Capone, Joe â€œThe Bossâ€ Masseria, â€œCrazyâ€ Joe Gallo, and John Gotti.
