Guys always trying to set you up, put you in traps. Trying to get ya killed. There was so much viciousness in this thing. I was brought up like a mushroom. Don't lie, Tell one lie, then you gotta tell another lie to compound on the first. Look at the Astors and the Vanderbilts, all those big society people. They were the worst thieves-and now look at them. It's just a matter of time. That way you'll get a refund. But I'm not going to answer any questions.

The giant legends of organized crime that led the largest, wealthiest, most powerful, and near completely documented organized crime syndicate in the world. At the height of its power, the Chicago mobs influence extended from Lake Shore Drive to the beaches of Havana, the neon lights of Vegas and the heroin drenched back alleys of Hanoi.
The years through are largely considered the Golden Age for the Chicago mob. By , the Chicago mob has lost control of the organized labor on a national basis and given up Las Vegas Las Vegas. Virtually every significant Mafia Boss in the country was in jail or under indictment and Sam Giancana was shot dead by his own men. The so-called Golden Age of Chicago Mob had ended.
Between and , fifty-nine years, only seven Bosses led the Chicago Mob. Between and , thirty-seven years, there were more than nine Bosses in rapid succession. All except one of them…the indomitable Tony Accardo…died in jail or under federal and state indictment. While the Chicago Mob still wields considerable criminal, financial, and political influence, it is a mere shadow of what it once was. With increased pressure from far reaching RICO laws, the constant surveillance of a well-informed and effective federal organized crime task force and increased competition from equally ruthless and ambitious new ethnic mobs, there is little chance it will ever reemerge as the awesome power it once was.
I heard a lot about Chicago mafia and I think it very interesting theme and I read few books but those books were so hard to read! But John Tuohy's book not like that!!! It's easy to read and I'm not saying it written poor or anything , what I mean is for the person who doesn't know much about the mafia world this book is really helps to understand all the details, I would say to see the whole picture!!!
This book is really interesting and helpful! It also has a lot of photographs which makes the book even better! I wish there would be more writers like John Tuohy who makes the books more interesting and cognitive! Tuohy, has out done himself with this prized piece of literary work! Since I'm a Chicagoan, born and raised for 40 years, some of them on the very same streets where some of the Outfit's associates and higher-ups lived, and after the first few pages I'm hooked. To take the Chicago Outfit and write about the ups and downs the Organization went through during this year time frame is an amazing feat.
You get some real good stories, written without an agenda, just to get the information out to the public. A brilliant topic which was handled with care and dignity by Mr. Get if a try, you'll end up buying more than the one book, betcha you can't read just one!!!

COM From Professor William Anthony Connolly This incredible memoir, No Time to Say Goodbye, tells of entertaining angels, dancing with devils, and of the abandoned children many viewed simply as raining manna from some lesser god. The memoir will have you falling to your knees thanking that benevolent Irish cop in the sky, your lucky stars, or hugging the oxygen out of your own kids the fate foisted upon Johnny and his siblings does not and did not befall your own brood.
John William Tuohy, a nationally-recognized authority on organized crime and Irish levity, is your trusted guide through the weeds the decades of neglect ensnared he and his brothers and sisters, all suffering for the impersonal and often mercenary taint of the foster care system. I wanted to scream. I wanted to get into a time machine, go back and adopt every last one of them. The requisite damning verities of foster care are all here, regretfully, but what sets this story above others is its beating heart, even a bruised and broken one, still willing to forgive and understand, and continue to aid its walking wounded.
