Synopsis
Dive into the underworld of a notorius western crime family with the bestselling book Smaldone , now in paperback., Started by Italian brothers from North Denver, the high-profile Smaldone crime syndicate began in the bootlegging days of the 1920s and flourished into the 1980s. Connected to notorious crime figures, politicians, and presidents, Clyde Smaldone was the crime family's leader. Through candid interviews and firsthand accounts, Dick Kreck reveals the true sense of what it meant to be a Smaldone, not only the corrupt but also the virtuous., As head of Denver's crime family, Clyde Smaldone was charismatic, shrewd, and quick-witted. But most of all, he knew how to keep a secret. For forty years, from Prohibition's bootlegging era through the murderous Colorado mob wars of the 1970s, Smaldone oversaw the family business. He ran booze with Al Capone, set up gambling operations in Central City, and oversaw a lucrative loan-sharking business in North Denver. And he paid his dues, with stints in Cañon City and Leavenworth, leaving behind a wife and two sons for years at a time. Yet despite the shadowy underworld that was his livelihood, Smaldone was a devoted husband and father and gave generously to his community, offering food, money, and college funds to struggling families. In close collaboration with the Smaldone family, including first-time access to audiotapes of Clyde Smaldone and dozens of interviews with family members and associates, best-selling author Dick Kreck captures the complexity of this local crime syndicate, revealing what it meant to be in the mob and the love and dysfunction that is part of every American family.

- v***v (2063)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
