Supermob by Gus Russo

To read this book is to understand how things really work in the US. Sidney Korshak is the center of a vortex of money, clout and corruption that shaped many now legitimate enterprises. Very interesting section on Ronald Reagan and his dirty dealings as president of the Screen Actors Guild. Russo talks of a plutocracy, a priviledged elite that is above the law, that has super status in the US. Highly reccommended.Read full review...
