My father was murdered, he was a truck driver and his semi was high jacked. He was 34, had a wife and 6 children. I have a Penn. report stating he died on...
Sorry about your father. All people can do is guess and speculate, also not every hijacking was by Mafia. You say a cousin told you story, did you ever find...
I posted this on another forum in response to a piece concerning the legitimate means of the taxation of corporate entities (and by extension, other legitimate...
There's (somewhat (well, three months ago!)) recently been a raid upon the sacred City Hall of the beautiful, ancient, artistic City of Providence, in the...
Reading Tim Newark's new book on Luciano. Newark discusses The Last Testament of Lucky Luciano in his introduction. He refers to a sit-down he had with Richard...
Anyone that quotes anything from the Testament loses any credibility with me.. I just won't purchase books that do that because it just means they did no real...
That's not the case with Newark's book, Ryan. He is exploring Luciano myths, and Last Testament is certainly one. He refuses to quote from the book and says he...
So Hammer admits he just made up dialogue that never happened, which according to Hammer were based on second notes that no one else has ever seen, and that...
Alex, You are so right about the Anastasia-Normandie story. I cannot imagine what part of that story supposedly "rings true." Anyone with the slightest desire...
I haven't gone very far into Newark's book yet. I quickly encountered some real problems with Newark's non-Luciano history and with some of the conclusions...
I believe that he's another of those who writes on a wide range of subjects for a living, so he doesn't have anything like specialised knowledge of this...
It reminds me, on a larger scale, of the 1970s book on Meyer Lansky that also contains stuff from The Last Testament as though it was real. The two Jewish...
I've visited the Amazon site with the Newmark book on it. Yet the two "reviews" of the book are really good. The writers of the reviews give it high...
I'm not sure whether you know this, Dave, but you're mentioned in Newark's acknowledgements. By Page 22, it becomes apparent that Newark did not consult with...

Gentlemen, it would be much appreciated if both you, Tom, and you, David, actually read the whole of my book rather than making assumptions based on reading a...
Tim, Good to have you here. You make a very fair request. But I think it would also be fair to note that the bulk of my comments to this point have been...

Happy to enter the lion's den, Tom! As you probably saw (or will see) in my final chapter I quote the secret FBII review of Hammer's Last Testament which...
Tim, I had a chance to look through portions of the book and will be purchasing it soon via Amazon. I agree with Tom that most of the frustration is directed...
Hi, Rick When and where will your review appear? ... From: Richard Warner <rishsam1@...> Subject: Re: [americanmafia] Re: Lucky Luciano: The Real and the...

Group members may be interested in some of the excellent movie footage of the S.S. Normandie and its tragic death by fire. Here are just a few selections from...
I was looking forward to James Fentress' new book Eminent Gangsters: Immigrants and the Birth of Organized Crime in America. He previous work on the origins...
Fentress, Fentress... what have we ever done to make you treat us so disrespectfully? I haven't seen the book yet. But this is sad, sad news. The guy had...
A few days ago the price was about $38, but now it's up to $45.98. I was considering purchasing it at $38, but with the price increase and the disappointing...
Well, I have a barely-used copy for sale for $10 and postage. The book relies heavily on secondary sources, and largely rehashes books and articles by others....
