Red Hook: Brooklyn Mafia, Ground Zero by Frank Dimatteo Hardcover Book

Description: Red Hook by Frank Dimatteo, Michael Benson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Long before Brooklyn was known as the worlds hippest neighborhood, it was the deadliest - the seedy, dangerous underbelly of New York City, where mobsters and gangs could commit murder and dump dead bodies without getting caught.For more than a hundred years, the Red Hook section of Brooklyn was Ground Zero for organized crime. Whoever controlled the piers controlled everything. From the infamous Irish gang known as The White Hand at the turn of the century, to the notorious Italian Gallo brothers who ran President Street—and everything else—generations later, the blood-soaked history of Red Hook is the story of American crime at its most powerful, corrupt, and coldly efficient.Its all here: the brutal mob hits, bullet storms, and backstabbings of the most colorful cutthroats to ever terrorize the streets. A rogues gallery of killers with nicknames like "The Mad Hatter," "The Executioner," "Wild Bill," and "Peg Leg." The Brooklyn bar fight that gave Al "Scarface" Capone his legendary scars. The godfather of Americas first Sicilian crime family whose gruesomely mangled hand could scare men half to death. And, to bring it all home, the authors own eyewitness account of multiple shootings growing up as the son of a Mafia bodyguard.Packed with jaw-dropping stories of public violence and personal vengeance, vivid insights into the Mafias way of life, and shocking portraits of Americas most wanted crime families, Red Hook is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the history of organized crime in America.
