About this product

Product Information

The Mob Only Spoke in the Strictest Confidence. . .As mob families go, the Philadelphia Mafia is the most dysfunctional family of all -- with brother turning against brother, sons turning on their fathers. In 1993 an embittered legacy of rivalry and hatred exploded in a brutal, bloody battle between old world mobster John Stanfa and the young, flamboyant Joey Merlino. However, this would be warfare different from any other. This time, the FBI had it all down on tape.And the FBI Was Listening...Veteran true crimes journalist George Anastasia takes you inside the world of mobsters at war, and FBI agents so close on the heels that they even watched one hit unfold live through a surveillance camera. Drawing on the transcripts themselves, here are mobsters bragging, lamenting, and marking their comrades for death.Among Them: John Stanfa, the violent often irrationally paranoid old style mob don battling a new generation of savage young turks.Rosario Bellocchi, the young Sicilian-born hitman in love with his boss's lovely daughter who would do anything to get ahead -- even kill his best friend.John Veasey, the five foot six inch, two hundred pound mad dog hitman who once had to postpone a hit -- in order to visit his parole officer.After four years, two thousand conversations, and dozens of shoot outs -- some on crowded Philadelphia Streets -- the goodfella tapes made a perfect net to catch some of the most vicious mobsters in America.

    An excellent look at Philadelphia's LCN

    This book was assigned reading for a college course on Organized Crime, and I have strongly recommended it to friends who enjoyed watching "The Godfather", "Goodfellas", and similar films.1 Since George Anastasia is a Philadelphia-based reporter and writer, his intimate knowledge of the area and its colorful past and people make for compelling reading, whether or not you are a Delaware Valley resident. He carefully describes people and places which locals will easily recognize, and at the same time gives details to make people who aren't familiar with the area the sense of "oh, yeah, I know a person/place like that!" The book flows briskly, reads like a compelling newspaper expose', and is a must read for anyone who has even a passing interest in Philadelphia, organized crime, or simply ...

    A must read for mafia fans!!

    This book takes you deep into the world of the Philly mob after the Nicky Scarfo era. The writing is excellent but what most captivated me was the actual bugging transcripts that are found through out the book. This book is actually one of the very few that gives you a vivid look into the wiseguy world through their own words. This book does not dissapoint!
